Franco-British Colloque

The Franco-British Colloque is another elite networking event very much like the British American Project. It is also run by Nick Butler of BP.
Labour MP Sadiq Khan gives the following account of the meeting on 19 January 2006:
:I also attended a Franco-British Colloque with leading French and British Politicians, Business people, academics and professionals. Speakers included George Osborne, the Chancellor Gordon Brown, the French Economic, Finance and Industry Minister Thierry Breton and Adair Turner (Chair of the Pensions Commission). Topics covered included "Europe beyond the constitutional debacle", "Islam; integration or alienation", "China and India; economic threat or opportunity for Europe" and "Energy; between security and environment". It was a fascinating conference with plenty of food for thought for both countries. 
Peter Mandelson notes:
:I have participated for many years on a regular basis in the annual Anglo-German Konigswinter Conference, the Franco-British Colloque, the UK-Spanish Tertulias, the UK-Italian Pontignano and other similar events. I have spoken at numerous Conferences on the future of Europe. For example in the last twelve months, I participated in the Bertelsmann International Forum in Berlin, gave the Den Uyl Lecture in Amsterdam and spoke in Warsaw, Budapest, Madrid and Paris.

Franco-British Nuclear Forum

==Background==
The Franco-British Nuclear Forum is an event, held roughly once a year, to foster cooperation between British and French nuclear scientists, policy-makers, regulators and industry. 
It was set up by Tony Blair and President Jacques Chirac during a Franco-British summit in June 2006. 
Blair and Chirac said the Forum was designed to “provide a vehicle to discuss Franco-British nuclear cooperation, including research, skills, decommissioning and waste management” and “further develop the opportunities of working together in the civil nuclear field".‘Franco-British Nuclear Forum launched’, CORDIS, 29 November 2006. 
The Nuclear Industry Association has played an active role in the forum since it was established.The Forum’s website (www.francobritishnuclearforum.org.uk) was hosted on the NIA’s website in 2008 (see http://web.archive.org/web/20080706014334/http://www.francobritishnuclearforum.org.uk which says “The NIA plays an active part in the forum and hosts the UK documents on these web pages on behalf of the forum”). Now, the Forum’s web address redirects to the NIA website’s home page).
==Meetings==
The Forum’s first meeting, in October 2006, was co-chaired by French Industry Minister with responsibility for Energy, François Loos, and British Energy Minister Peter Truscott. 
It focused on three broad areas 
* Political Environment, looking at the regulation of safety and security, legal framework and other issues that provide for public acceptance of nuclear; 
* Skills, including benchmarking existing skills and engagement with the supply chain; and
* Economic Environment, including the question of the comparative competitiveness of the nuclear energy and the long term costs of nuclear power. DTI, Franco British Nuclear Forum, Undated. 
A follow-up seminar was held in London in the spring of 2007. Foratom, 'Franco-British Nuclear Forum Inaugurates Long Term Partnership in Nuclear Policy', December 6, 2006.

Frank Chapple

Francis Joseph Chapple, trade unionist: born London 8 August 1921; created 1985 Baron Chapple; married 1944 Joan Nicholls (died 1994; two sons), 1999 Phyllis Luck; died Maidstone, Kent 19 October 2004. Tam Dalyell, [Lord Chapple], Independent, 22 October 2004. 
==Electrical Trade Union==
In the 1950s and 1960s, both the CIA and MI5 took a close interest in communist penetration of British trade unions, an issue which was the subject of a television documentary by Woodrow Wyatt in 1956. The intelligence agencies were particularly concerned about the ETU, because of the presence of its members at GCHQ.
::"The battle was a prolonged one with some communist officials only removed in 1963. In 1965 communists were banned from holding office in the ETU. The moderate Frank Chapple went on to occupy the post of General Secretary until 1984. Wyatt presented himself as an interested independent who had happened on the story of communist penetration of the unions by accident. In fact he had longstanding associations with IRD and formed the lead element in an organised attack. The Hidden Hand: Britain, America and Cold War Secret Intelligence, Richard J. Aldrich, John Murray Publishers, London, 2001, p.547. 
==It must not happen here==
::"The Antisubversive lobby's Brian Crozier was among those who appeared in Chalfont's television psy-war programme, It Must Not Happen Here. Broadcast in January 1976, it 'purported to show that the Communist Manifesto was being implemented bit by bit in Britain. Bert Ramelson, Stuart Holland, Ken Gill and others were named and then Frank Chapple, Reg Prentice, Lord Hailsham, Brian Crozier of the Institute for the Study of Conflict, Woodrow Wyatt and Chalfont himself all spoke in support of this view." Smear Wilson and the Secret State, Stephen Dorril and Robin Ramsay, Fourth Estate Limited, London, 1991, p281. 
Authors Ramsay and Dorril suggest that the lavish budget for this programme may indicate intelligence funding.

==Ministry of Defence==
According to journalists Duncan Campbell and Patrick Forbes, following the imprisonment of [[Colin Wallace] ] in 1981, "About the same time a secret memorandum went to Defence Ministry Permanent Under Secretary Sir Frank Cooper, warning him that Wallace had both the information and the motive to reveal the story behind Kincora.Government must answer Kincora questions, New Statesman, 28 February 1986.
==Retirement==
The Telegraph notes of Cooper's 1982 retirement:
::Through his business contacts, he became deputy chairman of Babcock International, chairman of United Scientific Holdings, and joined a number of other boards, including N M Rothschild.
::The ease with which he transferred from the Civil Service to related jobs in the private sector, however, added to the general controversy over the recruitment of civil servants into sensitive jobs in private industry, which eventually led to a tightening of the rules.Sir Frank Cooper, telegraph.co.uk, 30 January 2002.
In 1986, Cooper told the New Statesman: 
::'I think there's always been doubts as to who Wilson associated with, there's always been worries about that'. Mentioning some of Wilson's friends, Cooper added: 'I think if you've got a Prime Minister who has got friends of a doubtful character, then you've got to be careful'"Duncan Campbell, Patrick Forbes and Jolyon Jenkins, [ The MI5 Affair can the Spooks be Trusted?], New Statesman, 5 December 1986.
