HC Deb 18 June 1964 vol 696 c203W
17. Mr. Wingfield Digby

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development whether he has now given further consideration to the embargo on the export of nuclear reactors for electricity generation to Eastern area countries like Roumania; and whether he has approached the United States Government on the matter.

35. Mr. Gordon Walker

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development what consideration Her Majesty's Government have now given to lifting the embargo on the sale of British nuclear power stations to Roumania.

51. Dr. A. Thompson

asked the Secretary of State for Industry, Trade and Regional Development whether he will make a statement on the possibility of removing the embargo on the sale of British nuclear power stations to Roumania.

Mr. Heath

In principle I favour seeking to modify the embargo so as to permit individual reactors to be exported, subject to the proper safeguards. Discussions with the United States Government on this matter are proceeding. We shall, of course, have to consult the other countries concerned as well.
