§ Mr. Chris Smithasked the Secretary of State for Energy what benefits he expects to follow for Britain's nuclear industry from his recent visit to the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.

Any trade in nuclear materials and technology will, of course, be subject to our international obligations in this area.
