HC Deb 29 February 1968 vol 759 c398W
37. Mr. Ronald Bell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether he will instruct the Medical Research Council not to use the terms and conditions of employment of members of their staff as a means of preventing such persons carrying out functions which are otherwise lawful.

Mrs. Shirley Williams:

My right hon. Friend is not empowered to give instructions of this kind to the Medical Research Council; it is a matter for their discretion.
