Mr. Patrick Jenkin

No discussions have taken place with Dr. Gray since the meeting on 26th November 1973, to which my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry referred in his reply to an earlier Question by the hon. Member on 3rd December, 1973.—[Vol. 865, c.259.] My hon. Friend the then Minister for Industry met the Minister for Energy of Ontario Province on 18th December, 1973 and was told of the province's future plans for CANDU reactors but no specific proposals for collaboration were discussed.
