HC Deb 24 March 1965 vol 709 cc111-2W
Mr. Hector Hughes

asked the Minister of Technology, in view of the increased relevance of automation to the development of trade, industry and commerce, what plans are being implemented at Dounreay Scientific Institute for the manufacture and construction of the required automation machines.

Mr. Cousins

The resources of the Dounreay Experimental Reactor Estab- lishment—which I assume is the establishment referred to in the Question—are engaged in the development of commercial fast breeder reactors and the Establishment has no plans for manufacture on the lines suggested.
