HC Deb 08 June 1976 vol 912 cc639-40W
Mr. Dodsworth

asked the Secretary of State for Energy how much plutonium from the United States of America has been imported into the United Kingdom over the past 15 years; what licensing processes it went through; and what it ultimately was used for.

Mr. Eadie

Small quantities of plutonium have been imported from the USA during the last 15 years for civil research and development purposes. All imports of plutonium have been licensed by the Department of Trade. The information requested about quantities is confidential.
