HC Deb 13 April 1965 vol 710 c159W
40. Mr. Ford

asked the Minister of Technology what steps he is taking with a view to the placing of civilian research and development contracts with the electronics industry.

Mr. Cousins

I am making a study of civil research and development in the electronics industry in the light of which I shall draw up proposals for any additional work that may be necessary. The proposals for the computer industry which I announced to the House last month are, of course, relevant to this Question.
