HC Deb 10 December 1985 vol 88 cc589-90W
Mr. Chris Smith

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if, pursuant to his answer to the hon. Member for Cynon Valley (Mrs. Clwyd) of 11 November, Official Report, column 61, he will publish in the Official Report the details of the European Communities ministerial declaration of 20 November 1984; and for each country in the European Community what is the total amount of plutonium transferred from the United Kingdom for civil end use.

Mr. Eggar

I have been asked to reply.

The answer the hon. Member refers to was given by my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Sussex (Mr. Renton).

I am arranging for a copy of the declaration of 20 November 1984, together with an informal translation, to be placed in the Library.

With regard to the information requested about transfers of plutonium to EC member states, I refer the hon. Member to the reply given by my hon. Friend the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Energy to the hon. Member for Meirionnydd Nant Conwy (Mr. Thomas) on 15 July at columns 32–3.
