§ 28. Mr. W. Hamiltonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the total amount spent on medical research by his Department 260W in 1963–64; and what proportion of the national income this figure represents.
§ Sir E. BoyleTotal expenditure from Government funds on medical research in 1963–64 (including an estimate of the support for this research by the University Grants Committee) was about £18½ million, representing just under 0.08 per cent. of the national income for 1963. The expenditure of the Medical Research Council in 1963–64, supported by grant-in-aid from the Treasury, was £7,033,000, which is about 0.03 per cent. of the national income in 1963.
