HC Deb 05 February 1986 vol 91 c176W
44. Mr. Eastham

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will make a statement on the implications for relations with Australia of the recent Royal Commission report on compensation for damage done by the testing of United Kingdom nuclear devices in Australia.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

The Royal Commission's report was a long and detailed document. Its recommendations are being discussed with the Australian Government in a positive spirit. I see no reason why the report should damage our excellent relations with Australia.
