HC Deb 19 April 1983 vol 41 cc64-5W
Mr. Hooley

asked the Secretary of State for Energy what is to be the source of the uranium now being sought by the British Civil Uranium Procurement Directorate for the uranium enrichment plant at Capenhurst.

Mr. John Moore

For reasons of commercial confidentiality it would not be appropriate at this time to disclose the source of the material. I understand that in seeking the supply the British Civil Uranium Procurement Directorate pursued all the normal commercial sources of uranium in the Western world except for material from South Africa or Namibia.
