HC Deb 21 January 1985 vol 71 c278W
Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for Energy (1) whether the Central Electricity Generating Board's contract for uranium oxide from the Rossing mine in Namibia has now been fulfilled;

(2) what were the reasons for delays in supplies which led to the completion date for the Central Electricity Generating Board's contract for uranium oxide from the Rossing mine in Namibia being put back.

Mr. Goodlad

Deliveries under the contract were completed in December 1984. Supplies due to be delivered between 1976 and 1982 were rescheduled in the late 1970s because of early operational difficulties at the mine.
