HC Deb 12 May 1959 vol 605 cc1025-6
12. Mr. Hirst

asked the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Works, as representing the Lord President of the Council, what progress the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research has made with the issue of industrial versions of research reports on social and psychological problems in industry.

Mr. H. Nicholls

From the research reports on social and psychological projects in industry, the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research with the agreement of the Medical Research Council has selected twelve projects as being suitable for presentation in a short and popular form. Three of these have already been published by Her Majesty's Stationery Office and other issues are in preparation.

Mr. Hirst

Is not this work financed from conditional aid funds from United States economic aid? Will the work come to an end when those funds cease?

Mr. Nicholls

The cost of publishing the popular versions of the results of the research does not all come out of conditional aid. The Department intends to go on with the twelve projects, to which I have referred in the Answer, in any case, quite apart from the conditional aid funds.

Forward to
