§ Mr. Lewisasked the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will publish a table in HANSARD showing the amounts of Government expenditure on scientific research, on technical education and on the study of industrial techniques and management, for each of the years from 1945 until the latest stated date.
§ Mr. Boyd-CarpenterEstimated expenditure on research and development for the years 1948–49 to 1953–54 is contained in the Appendix to the Vote for Grants for Science and the Arts in Class IV of the Civil Estimates for each of those years. I would also draw the hon. Member's attention to the notes at the end of this Appendix. I regret that the other information for which he asks is not available without a disproportionate expenditure of time and labour.
