HC Deb 11 February 1969 vol 777 cc294-5W
Mr. Hornby

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will list the Government research establishments for which his Department is responsible showing the location, date of foundation, numbers of qualified engineers and scientists and other staff, respectively, employed on 1st January, 1960, 1965, and 1969 and the cost of each establishment to public funds in the years 1959–60, 1964–65 and the estimate for 1968–69.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

This information is not readily available and it would cost a disproportionately large sum to obtain it. Details of the research establishments maintained or supported by the Research Councils are to be found in their Annual Reports. If the hon. Member wishes to raise any particular point, perhaps he would write to me.
