HC Deb 26 June 1967 vol 749 cc21-2W
69 and 70. Mr. Webster

asked the Minister of Technology (1) what steps he is taking to ensure the continuance of the Dragon Reactor experiment;

(2) what steps he is taking to ensure the continuance of reactor experiments in Great Britain in the event of a failure of Euratom to agree a budget and to approve the necessary funds.

Mr. Benn

Negotiations are continuing with the other participants in the Dragon reactor experiment to secure its continuation as a joint international project. This is the only reactor experiment in the United Kingdom to which Euratom has contributed funds.
