§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy if he will make it his policy to seek from his counterpart in France details of the French nuclear power plant decommissioning programme, in so far as it may assist the United Kingdom programme.
§ Mr. BaldryMy Department and Nuclear Electric have regular discussions with the French authorities on many aspects of nuclear power. As I have already explained to the hon. Member, direct comparisons between France and the UK cannot be made because of the different reactor types currently operational in each country.
