Mr. Skeet

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry to what extent the United Kingdom is helping to formulate a Community strategy for the procurement of enriched uranium.

Mr. Anthony Grant

The Council of Ministers on 22nd–23rd May set up a Permanent Committee on Uranium Enrichment to advise on a Community policy in this field. The United Kingdom has three representatives on this Committee from DTI, CEGB and BNFL. It is to prepare a report by the end of October 1973 which the Council of Ministers will consider before the end of this year.
