HC Deb 11 December 1995 vol 268 c500W
Mrs. Anne Campbell

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what were the indicative contributions to the EU budget in respect of research and development for his Department in 1993–94. [1912]

Mr. Howard

Table 2.1 of the statistical supplement to "Forward Look of Government-funded Science, Engineering and Technology 1995" contains indicative figures for the United Kingdom's contributions to the European Community budget in respect of research and development. Departments' policy responsibilities arc subject to change and can vary from year to year. My Department currently has an 0.07 per cent. share of the indicative contribution of the United Kingdom in respect of this part of the Community's budget.
