§ Mr. Masonasked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what stocks of uranium raw material the Atomic Energy Authority is carrying; and to what extent purchases are continuing.
§ Mr. Denzil FreethCommercial considerations preclude my giving details of the Atomic Energy Authority's contracts and stocks. In general terms, however, present stocks of uranium together with purchases to be made under existing long-term contracts will on current estimates of requirements be sufficient to last into the 1970s.
