Mr. P. Noel-Baker

asked the Minister of Defence what will be the expenditure on military research and development in the financial year 1963–64.

Mr. Thorneycroft

I am not prepared to give precise figures, but expenditure on military research and development in the current financial year is likely to be of the order of £250 million.
