HC Deb 11 November 1980 vol 992 cc131-2W
Mr. Marlow

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he is now able to make a statement about the future of the computer board for the universities and the research councils.

Mr. Mark Carlisle

I am satisfied that the board's policies and operational methods ensure that public funds are deployed to the greatest advantage and that there would be no additional savings in staff over and above those already made over the last 12 months, if the work of the board were taken over by the University Grants Committee. Therefore, I have decided that the board should continue as at present constituted.
