HC Deb 25 April 1984 vol 58 c506W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will make a statement on the use of plutonium supplied to the United States of America from the United Kingdom's military reactors for defence purposes.

Mr. Pattie

Plutonium, derived from the United Kingdom's military reactors, has been supplied to the United States under the 1958 US/United Kingdom's mutual defence agreement during the past 13 years. The United States has been free to put this material to such uses as it has decided.
