HL Deb 31 May 1995 vol 564 c78WA
Lord Kennet

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have accepted the South Korean demand, that under the agreement between North Korea and the United States whereby light water reactors are to be provided to North Korea, only South Korean-designed and built reactors should be offered to North Korea, and, if so, why they are supporting this demand, when alternative, proven reactors can be made available.

Baroness Chalker of Wallasey

The provision of light water reactors to North Korea is the subject of negotiations between the US, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the Republic of Korea (ROK) within the framework of the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organisation. We will support any decision that is acceptable to the three parties directly involved in these negotiations.
