HC Deb 25 July 1980 vol 989 c399W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Prime Minister what action Her Majesty's Government are taking to ensure that the International Atomic Energy Agency has the manpower and resources to carry out inspections in countries such as Iraq.

The Prime Minister

As a member of the International Atomic Energy Agency, Her Majesty's Government support the agency's safeguards programme by means of their financial contribution to the budget and by the secondment of United Kingdom personnel to the safeguards department of the Agency. In addition, we have recently informed the agency that we shall be providing substantial technical and financial support for the agency's safeguards development programme to meet some of its specific requirements for equipment.
