Mr. CarrThe Department of Technical Co-operation finances, or helps to finance, about 1,250 such workers in many parts of the world, including the United Kingdom. Of these 89 are paid direct from the Vote of my Department. Since they are variously employed on many differing aspects of research, I will write to the hon. Member describing the staff involved and some of their more important activities.
