Mr. Strang

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any plans to meet the chairman of the Medical Research Council to discuss research funding; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Dunn

My right hon. Friend met the chairman and secretary of the Medical Research Council on 5 November for a general discussion about the work of the council. The chairman drew attention to the financial pressures on the council. There was then a short discussion before turning to other topics.
