§ 22. Mr. Wolrige-Gordonasked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science when it will be decided where the sub-stations for the Meat Research Institute are to be sited; and what are the factors to be taken into account.
§ Mr. Denzil FreethThere are no present plans to set up sub-stations of the Meat Research Institute. A decision whether to establish substations will depend on the extent to which the work which is to be done at the Institute requires to be supplemented by work under conditions elsewhere in the United Kingdom.
§ Mr. Wolrige-GordonWill my hon. Friend bear in mind, when he considers plans for these sub-stations, that we should be very glad indeed to have one in Aberdeenshire?
§ Mr. FreethIndeed, I would pay tribute to my hon. Friend's pertinacity in asking this Question regularly, and I will certainly bear in mind what he has said, but I think it will be some time before the decision in this matter is taken.
