§ Mr. FlynnTo ask the Secretary of State for Energy, pursuant to the answer to the hon. Member for Newport West of 12 March,Official Report, column 435, what forms of assurance were given by the United Kingdom to the countries of origin of the plutonium reprocessed prior to 1973 that their plutonium was kept separate and segregated from United Kingdom origin plutonium and military plutonium.
§ Mr. Heathcoat-AmoryNo such assurances for the reprocessing of civil spent fuel have either been requested or given. It has been the Government's policy since 1986 that civil and non-civil spent fuel should be reprocessed in separate campaigns.
