§ Mr. David Howellasked the Minister of Technology how much was given in grant aid to the Gelatine and Glue Research Association in 1968–69; and whether he will specify his Department's objective in giving this grant.
§ Dr. Ernest A. DaviesFor the financial year of the Association ending on 30th September, 1969 the amount of grant paid to this R.A. is likely to be £3,800—the precise amount is awaiting completion of the R.A.'s accounts. This is given in order to assist the producers and users of gelatine in their efforts to improve the properties of gelatine and to find new applications for this material, which is a by-product of meat consumption.
