§ Mr. Ryanasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will publish any cost benefit analysis or potential assessment study carried out by the Social Science Research Council in support of the creation of a part-time field force as part of its proposed Survey Research Unit.
§ Mr. FowlerIt is for the council to decide what information it should publish about the survey unit. It is not the present plan to create a field force as part of the unit; its function will be to assist social scientists by advice and, where necessary, with help over the recruitment and training of interviewers they may need.
