§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Energy when he proposes to commence the inquiry into the fast breeder reactor; when he considers the inquiry will report; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. BennAny proposal to build a commercial scale demonstration fast reactor will be subject to a public inquiry. The inquiry would not be limited to local planning issues but would allow wider relevant issues to be examined.
