HC Deb 21 June 1965 vol 714 c142W
Mr. Eldon Griffiths

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what information is in the possession of his Department on the progress made by Sweden towards becoming a nuclear Power.

Mr. Padley

Sweden has the industrial capacity, especially in the field of precision engineering, to undertake a military nuclear programme if she chose to do so. But no such decision has been taken and the Swedish Government supports efforts to achieve effective international measures to prevent the further dissemination of nuclear weapons.
