HC Deb 09 April 1963 vol 675 c123W
64. Mr. Mclnnes

asked the President of the Board of Trade what proportion of National Research Development Corporation current expenditure on development projects by private industry is being spent in Scotland.

Mr. D. Price

The National Research Development Corporation is responsible for managing its own affairs, including the placing of contracts. My right hon. Friend is informed that the proportion in the year ending 30th June, 1962, was very small but will increase substantially over the next few years.
