Dr. ThomasTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what communications he has had with the European Community Energy Commissioner and the Director General of Safeguards of Euratom over recent reports that nuclear materials originating in nuclear facilities in the European Community have been illicitly sold on the black market in the Sudan.
§ Mr. MellorThere has been no communication on this subject with the EC Energy Commissioner. Some official contact has taken place between the Department of Energy and Euratom which endorses the reply I gave to the hon. Member on 19 November.
