HC Deb 12 January 1977 vol 923 c500W
Mr. Atkinson

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will put before the EEC the case in favour of siting the Joint European Torus (JET) project in the United Kingdom; and if he will actively canvass other EEC Ministers for support.

Mr. Benn

United Kingdom Ministers have taken, and will continue to take, every suitable opportunity of putting the case for siting JET at Culham to their Community colleagues, and of seeking their support, both bilaterally and in the Council of Ministers.
