9. Mr. Tinn

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what expansion has taken place in the work of the Moor House Research Station of the Nature Conservancy.

Mr. Crosland

The research work being carried out at Moor House Field Station is closely integrated with that of Merlewood Research Station in Lancashire, and is described in the Conservancy's last Annual Report for the year ended 30th September, 1964. Moor House Field Station started in 1952 with a staff of 2 (1 scientific). The staff complement is now 6 (3 scientific).
