HC Deb 20 March 1980 vol 981 c256W
Mr. Wrigglesworth

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science on what basis he anticipates that the completion of the work by the Cockcroft committee of inquiry into the teaching of mathematics will save £20,000 per annum.

Dr. Boyson

The annual saving is attributable largely to the travel and subsistence expenses of committee members which will cease to be incurred when the committee's work is completed.
