HC Deb 11 June 1968 vol 766 c35W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Technology what is his policy in relation to placing civil work in Government research establishments in the light of answer 817 given by the Electronic Engineering Association in evidence to the Select Committee on Science and Technology.

Mr. Fowler

As regards the defence research establishments, I would refer my hon. Friend to the answer I gave him on 11th March. The Department's civil research stations carry out basic research into problems common to many sections of industry and in areas where industry has not taken the lead.—[Vol. 760; c. 967–8.]
