HC Deb 28 March 1983 vol 40 cc21-2W
28. Dame Judith Hart

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make a statement on developments on the supply of nuclear fuels to Chile; and if he is satisfied that these have no potential for nuclear weapon development in Chile.

Mr. John Moore

There have been no further developments since the replies given to the hon. Member for West Lothian (Mr. Dalyell) on 6 and 13 December 1982—[Vol. 33, c. 334; Vol. 34, c. 27]. I am satisfied with the assurances received from the Government of Chile that the fuel to be supplied by the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Authority for a small research reactor will be used for peaceful purposes only and with the arrangements under the safeguards agreement between Chile and the International Atomic Energy Agency.
