§ Mr. CousinsTo ask the President of the Board of Trade which companies and technology centres are participating in the Co-operative Research Action for Technology programme for small and medium-sized enterprises under the framework programme for research and development; and what proportion of this programme has been spent in Great Britain.
§ Mr. McLoughlinThis information is not readily available in the form requested. Each CRAFT project must have participants from two or more Community countries and at the moment the United Kingdom accounts for 10 to 11 per cent. of the 640 participants in projects so far awarded grant; 15 United Kingdom-based organisations are engaged in research and development under the programme.
