§ Mr. David Priceasked the Minister of Technology if he will list the research associations which receive financial support from his Department in the current year, stating in each case the amount of financial support and the amount of money which they raise from their members.
§ Mr. BennForty-eight industrial research associations are aided by the Ministry of Technology by grants which are estimated to amount to just over £3.3 million in the current financial year; the grant earning income raised from their members is likely to be £7.6 million. In addition to the grant earning income the research associations are likely to receive a total sum of the order of £2 million from repayment work of all kinds (from non-members as well as members, including Government Departments) interest from investments, licensing fees etc. It is not possible to break down the income of individual associations from these various sources.
The estimated grant payments in 1966–67 to co-operative Research Associations and corresponding grant earning incomes are:
