12. Mr. Robert Howarth

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many awards in the field of social studies have been made by the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research in the year 1964–65; and how this compares with previous years.

Mr. Crosland

In 1964–65 the Department of Scientific and Industrial Research made 44 postgraduate training awards for work in social studies related to industry. This compares with 32 in 1963–64 and 13 in 1962–63. In other areas of the human sciences related to the needs of industry, the corresponding figures were 84, 52 and 33 respectively. In the same year my Department awarded 149 postgraduate State Studentships in social studies, compared with 61 in 1963–64 and 36 in 1962–63.
