41. Mr. Matthew Taylor

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what representations he has received about the agricultural and food research council; and if he will make a statement.

I have received a number of letters about the council's plans for restructuring its research institutes, particularly in relation to the Langford laboratory of the Institute of Food Research. These are matters for the council itself and my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Education and Science.
