HC Deb 21 June 1979 vol 968 c650W
Mrs. Renée Short

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will ask his EEC counterparts to agree to fund the reversed field experiment at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority's Culham laboratory.

Mr. Norman Lamont

Some design studies for the reverse field experiment have already been carried out with support from EEC funds. If the project receives maximum support from Community funds, the United Kingdom would still have to find more than half the cost The decision on whether the necessary funds can be made available has not yet been taken.
