§ Mr. Patrick Jenkinasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proposals he has to end the payment of the £200 per research student hitherto paid by the Science Research Council to university departments training research students; how much would be saved thereby; and what consultations he has had with the Science Research Council and the universities on the subject.
§ Mr. CroslandThe approach of a new university quinquennium makes it appropriate to examine this source of income in consultation with the University Grants Committee, the Council for Scientific Policy and the Research Councils concerned, but no decision has yet been reached.
