Dr. Charles Goodson-Wickes

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster what recent studies he has made of the funding of medical research. [30145]

Mr. David Hunt

After careful studies I announced earlier this year an increase of 3.2 per cent. in the Medical Research Council budget to £277.8 million. The Department of Health will spend £413 million on research and research-related activity in 1995–96, an increase of 7.3 per cent.
