§ Mr. Matthew TaylorTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, Transport and the Regions how many series of research papers his Department produces; and what are the names of each of these series. [62046]
§ Mr. RaynsfordInformation about the Department's research is made available in many forms including short summaries of completed, current and future research. Details are available through Newsletters and the Department's Website. Series of research papers are uncommon although there is a recent example in the "Road Safety Research Series—No. 1 Road Safety Education of Children'. Conclusions of research inform Departmental advice which is disseminated through regular Circulars or Advice Notes. Many research contractors maintain their own series of research papers. The Transport Research Laboratory, Building Research Establishment, the Hadley Centre and University of Westminster are examples.
