§ Mr. Fauldsasked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether all the Greenwich royal observatory's activities, with the exception of the equatorial group of telescopes, will be accommodated on the Madingley road site.
§ Mr. WaldenI have been asked to reply.
It is planned that all the United Kingdom-based activities of the Royal Greenwich Observatory will be accommodated on the Madingley road site, with the exception of the archives section which will be housed in the university library. The future requirement and location for the satellite Laser Ranger is being reviewed by a scientific committee set up by the Science and Engineering Research Council.
