I can give the hon. Gentleman an assurance in answer to his first question. We are being kept fully informed by the Norwegians and we shall continue to keep in close contact with them. When the results of their findings are announced we shall pay particular attention to them. The Burgoyne report is being considered by the Government and we hope, shortly, to be consulting with outside bodies which have an interest in the matter. In due course the Secretary of State will make an announcement to the House about how we intend to proceed.
