HC Deb 06 May 1963 vol 677 cc4-5W
Mr. Mason

asked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science how much has been spent on the development and maintenance of the Magnox type of reactors by the Atomic Energy Authority; what moneys have since been recovered by royalties, levies and other charges; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Denzil Freeth

Publication of the Atomic Energy Authority's expenditure on the development of any particular type of reactor and of the revenue received from its exploitation would handicap them in their negotiations for the payment of royalties for the use of patents and information of commercial value relating to that particular system.
