§ 85. Mr. Websterasked the Minister of Technology what estimate he has made of the current total expenditure on research in the design, production and application of computers in Great Britain; and how much of this expenditure is financed by the Government.
§ Dr. BrayExpenditure on Research and Development in the year 1966–67 by the Government, in the field of design, production and application of computers, excluding defence, totalled approximately £4 million. No reliable figures are available for the total of R & D expenditure by non-governmental organisations, but I estimate this to have been of the order of £15 million in the same period.
