asked the Secretary of State for Energy whether it is proposed to merge the Reactor Development Division (Winfrith) with the reactor group at Risley or if it is intended to give the former a coherent programme of its own.

This establishment has been part of the Reactor Group of the UKAEA since April 1961. Its work is integrated with that of other establishments in the group, whose headquarters are at Risley, where programmes are formulated and controlled in close association with the Nuclear Power Company and British Nuclear Fuels Limited.
