HC Deb 10 February 1988 vol 127 c234W
Mr. Cryer

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs if he will request Her Majesty's Government's ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency board of directors to forward a report to his Department on the agency's director-general's latest safeguards implementation report and oral commentary; and if he will place a copy in the Library.

Mr. Mellor

We receive International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards implementation reports on an annual basis. The reports and the Director-General's oral commentary are confidential to board members.

However, a summary and the main conclusions of the 1986 safeguards implementation report (the latest available) are given in paragraphs 34 and 391 to 437 of the International Atomic Energy Agency's annual report for 1986. I am arranging for a copy to be placed in the Library.
