HC Deb 17 January 1972 vol 829 c9W
55. Mr. Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what has been the total percentage of facilities devoted to civil research at Aldermaston Research Station during each of the last three years for which figures are available, as compared with military research facilities.

Mr. David Price

As my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Defence said on 5th August, 1971, in another place, about 19 per cent. of the work done at the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment at Aldermaston is civilian work and all the rest is military. The percentage was the same in 1968–69 and 1969–70.
