Lord LLOYD of KILGERRAN

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether there are any collaborative projects between any British Government department and the Government of the French Republic in respect of the development of nuclear energy for non-military purposes.

The MINISTER of STATE, DEPARTMENT of EMPLOYMENT (The Earl of Gowrie)

There are no such projects between a British Government department and the French Government. However, there are a number of collaborative projects between France and the United Kingdom at non-governmental level and as members of the European Community both countries are involved in a number of Community programmes.
