HL Deb 14 October 1976 vol 375 cc642-3WA
Lord KENNET

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether the Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Peaceful Nuclear Explosions of the International Atomic Energy Agency has yet completed its work; whether a report is to be published and, if so, when.

Lord GORONWY-ROBERTS

As I told my noble friend on 6th July (Hansard col. 1222), the International Atomic Energy Agency's Ad Hoc Advisory Group on Nuclear Explosions for Peaceful Purposes is not expected to report to the Agency's Board of Governors before February 1977. It is too early to say when their report will become generally available.
