37. Mr. JARDINE WHYTE

asked the Lord President of the Council the total cost to the nation of the Fuel Research Board for the last financial year?

The LORD PRESIDENT of the COUNCIL (Mr. Baldwin)

The cost of ser- vices provided by other Departments (e.g., His Majesty's Office of Works) during the same year is not yet available, but the cost in 1931 was approximately £10,000.

Mr. GLEDHILL

Can the right hon. Gentleman say what steps have been taken to communicate the results of this research to the industries concerned?

Mr. BALDWIN

If the hon. Member will put down a question, I shall be glad to answer.
