§ Mr. Llew SmithTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, pursuant to his answer of 29 June 1999, Official Report, column 116, on MOX shipments, if he will place that advice in the Library. [89814]
§ Mr. HoonThe Government's position on this matter was recently re-examined by the DTI in the course of preparing a response to a letter on the same subject which my hon. Friend the Member for Birmingham, Northfield (Mr. Burden) sent to my colleague the Minister for Energy and Industry. The Minister's reply to my hon. Friend for Northfield sets out the detailed conclusions reached and reflects the advice of the UK Safeguards Office. This was the same advice as that on which I based my earlier statement. A copy of that reply has now been placed in the Library.
