§ Mr. Palmerasked the Secretary of State for Energy when he will make available to hon. Members the report of the team sent by the Central Electricity Generating Board to study at first hand the accident at Three Mile Island nuclear power station in the United States of America.
§ Mr. David HowellThe Atomic Energy Authority, the Nuclear Installations Inspectorate, and the Nuclear Power Company, as well as the Central Electricity76W Generating Board, are assessing the implications of the Harrisburg nuclear incident. As I told the House on 11 June, I will consider the suitability and timing of the publication of these studies, but it would seem best to be able to consider the report of the President's Commission in the United States, and the fullest availability of the facts, before considering the publication of the reports in the United Kingdom.
