HC Deb 21 February 1963 vol 672 cc77-8W
14. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Education how much finance he has made available to encourage research in education through his Research and Intelligence Branch.

Sir E. Boyle

I have made available £20,000 in the financial year 1962–63 for the promotion of educational research, in addition to my annual grant of £7,000 to the National Foundation for Educational Research.

15. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Education what machinery he has for deciding the priority and value of potential educational research projects; and what advice he gets from those actively engaged in the field of educational research.

Sir E. Boyle

I am advised by H.M. Inspectors and by members of staff at the National Foundation for Educational Research and other institutions engaged in educational research. In deciding the priority of an individual project I take full account both of this advice and of its relevance to current educational problems.
