HC Deb 08 February 1968 vol 758 cc199-200W
27. Sir H. Legge-Bourke

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will make a statement on Her Majesty's Government's policy regarding the siting of a new 300 GeV accelerator for C.E.R.N. at Mundford; and what are the factors which have led to this policy decision.

Mr. Gordon Walker

The Government's policy has always been to present the Mundford site in the best possible light, in competition with other sites offered to C.E.R.N. and every effort has been made to ensure that information has been made available to C.E.R.N. on all relevant matters. The factors which the Government have had in mind are set out in the report on the proposed 300 GeV accelerator, Cmnd. 3503.
