HC Deb 04 March 1985 vol 74 c357W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Energy if he will set out the division in responsibility between his Department and British Nuclear Fuels plc with regard to the storage, export and accounting of plutonium.

Mr. Goodlad

I refer the hon. Member to the answer I gave on 18 February 1985 at column353 and the answer given by my right hon. Friend the Minister of State, Foreign and Commonwealth Office at column 359. The Department is consulted by the Department of Trade and Industry on the issue of licences for BNFL's exports of nuclear materials.
