HC Deb 07 February 1978 vol 943 c491W
Mr. Shersby

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what consultations took place between the Government of the United States of America and Her Majesty's Government concerning the possible landing on earth of the nuclear-powered satellite Cosmos 954; and if he is satisfied with the speed of international consultations and arrangements for alerting Parliament to such dangers in any future accident of such a kind.

Mr. Judd

As regards international consultations, I would refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 2nd February to the hon. Member for Stretford (Mr. Churchill).—[Vol. 943, c.306.] The Government are well aware of the need to take all necessary steps to keep Parliament and the public informed of any risks in matters of this kind, and I am satisfied with the arrangements for this.
