HC Deb 17 December 1980 vol 996 c207W
Mr. Cryer

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list all payments made by his Department to overseas institutions, Governments, universities, companies or other bodies for the purposes of scientific, technological, psychological or sociological research and development.

Mr. Hayhoe

On all forms of research and development in respect of the defence equipment programme we expect to spend of the order of £90 million overseas this year—at 1980 survey prices. A detailed breakdown into the various categories of expenditure listed in the question could be provided only at disproportionate expense.
