HC Deb 20 February 1962 vol 654 c28W
66. Mr. Bence

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what progress has been made in the development of a British nuclear-powered marine engine.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

The Atomic Energy Authority has put in hand the work required to carry out the programme of research which I described in my speech in reply to the Adjournment debate on 15th December last. It is negotiating research and design contracts with industry.
