HC Deb 24 July 1962 vol 663 cc137-8W
Mr. Mason

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what total losses will be incurred by the Atomic Energy Authority as a result of the lessening demand for graphite.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

The Atomic Energy Authority tells me that negotiations are proceeding with the graphite suppliers and with the Central Electricity Generating Board, the Authority's principal customer. It is not possible at present to give an estimate of the total loss which will ultimately fall on the Authority.
