§ 29. Mr. Willisasked the Parliamentary Secretary for Science what consideration he has given to those recommendations of the Elgood Committee on Natural Resources in Scotland which affect his Department.
§ Mr. Denzil FreethThese recommendations have been taken into account by the Committee on Research into Natural Resources—the Slater Committee —of the Advisory Council on Scientific Policy.
§ Mr. WillisCan the hon. Gentleman say when anything is likely to be done about them, because this Report was published some time ago?
§ Mr. FreethThe Elgood Committee reported to the Scottish Council. Therefore, a very large part of its recommendations is the responsibility of the Secretary of State for Scotland. The Slater Report is at present under consideration by the Advisory Council which set up that Committee.
