HC Deb 26 March 1973 vol 853 c221W
Mr. Loveridge

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make it his policy to obtain a stake in new companies constructing nuclear power stations so as to allow considerations of national interest to be taken into account in negotiations for the development of British and European construction programmes.

Mr. Tom Boardman

I would refer my hon. Friend to my right hon. Friend's statement on 22nd March on the setting up of a new company in which the Government will have a stake through the Atomic Energy Authority, and reserved rights.
