HC Deb 09 December 1968 vol 775 c40W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science, what surveys he proposes to make in Wales to discover the location of uranium; and what are the results of previous surveys.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

The Institute of Geological Sciences (on behalf of the U.K.A.E.A.) is conducting a survey for uranium in the United Kingdom. This is likely to include certain areas in Wales. Uranium-bearing shales were located near Dolgelly by the former Atomic Energy Division of the Geological Survey (now Institute of Geological Sciences) 14 years ago, but were not at that time regarded as economically worthwhile.
