§ Mr. Brooksasked the Minister of Technology whether he will now extend the principle of European atomic collaboration, as exemplified recently in the Anglo-German-Dutch ultracentrifuge agreement, to the field of mercantile nuclear propulsion; and if he will embark on discussions to this end with Germany in particular.
§ Dr. Ernest A. DaviesI would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave to similar Questions today. I would only add that, although my right hon. Friend will bear in mind the possibilities of international collaboration in the nuclear ship field, any economic benefits may not be so large in this as in other fields because the ship market is already largely international.
