HC Deb 10 June 1964 vol 696 c63W
45. Dame Irene Ward

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what technical advice he sought on the type of British nuclear reactor to be used in British submarines.

Mr. Hay

The decision on the type of British-made nuclear reactor for British submarines was taken by the Board of Admiralty on the advice of their professional advisers. Account was also taken of the views of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority and of information made available by the United States authorities.
