HC Deb 01 July 1965 vol 715 cc112-3W
41. Sir H. Legge-Bourke

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how often the Natural Environment Research Council has met; when it expects to produce a report; and whether he is satisfied with the machinery for co-ordinating the work for which this Council is responsible.

Mr. Crosland

The Council held their inaugural meeting on 30th June. As required by the Science and Technology Act, 1965, the Council will make a report to me annually as soon as possible after the end of each financial year. I am quite satisfied with the machinery which the Council itself together with its main committees provides for co-ordinating the work for which the Council is responsible.
