§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the President of the Board of Trade how many meetings of the LASCAR—large-scale commercial reprocessing plant safeguards—group on nuclear safeguards have been held since June 1990; what issues have been discussed and decided; what United Kingdom representation there has been at LASCAR meetings; which interim reports on LASCAR meetings have been published; and when the final report of the LASCAR group will be made public.
§ Mr. EggarEight meetings of the LASCAR group on large-scale reprocessing plant safeguards have been held since June 1990. Typically one representative from DTI and two from industry have attended for the United Kingdom.
The issues and conclusions of LASCAR are described in the "Report of the LASCAR Forum". In addition, a paper describing aspects of LASCAR's work was published in July 1990, at the Institute of Nuclear Materials management conference. Copies of both papers are available in the Library of the House.
