Page 38 from FCO 37/2114 - The Nuclear Policy of Pakistan 1979

The letter discussed in the document refers to a report in The Guardian stating that the government asked Emersons to abandon its contract to supply equipment for Pakistan's nuclear program. During a meeting with Emersons, it was explained that the government decided to prevent the order from proceeding because the inverters were likely intended for military purposes. The letter seeks information on two specific points: shipments of equipment from Tilbury in August, which Emersons confirmed were unrelated to the current contract, and the involvement of Weargate as a supply agent for Pakistan.
