HC Deb 21 February 1968 vol 759 cc141-2W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Defence what initiatives he is taking to encourage the sponsorship of postgraduate students in defence research establishments.

Mr. Mason

Research Fellowships are offered at all Ministry of Defence Research and Development Establishments. These are awarded to outstand- ing individuals for periods ranging from two to five years. Fellows are allowed to work on subjects of their own choice though these must naturally bear some relation to the work of the Establishment.

For post-graduates on the staff of Establishments there are opportunities for further external study.
