§ 23. Mr. Grimondasked the Secretary of State for Scotland what areas in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland have been surveyed for uranium; and with what result.
§ Mr. Gregor MacKenzieAn exploration programme carried out from 1967–1972 by the Institute of Geological Sciences under the sponsorship of the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority identified uranium prospects in Orkney, Caithness, Sutherland and Aberdeenshire, but did not define the extent of the ore reserves. I have no information about programmes of exploration which may have been undertaken by private companies.
