HC Deb 11 March 1968 vol 760 c236W
Mr. Dalyell

asked the Minister of Technology what organisation he has set up to promote the civil industrial application of spin-off, gained in the course of work in defence research establishments.

Mr. Fowler

At all establishments items of potential civil interest are brought to the notice of the National Research Development Corporation for exploitation purposes.

An Industrial Applications Unit has been set up at the Royal Radar Establishment, Malvern, to act as a liaison unit between the establishment and the civil users of electronics equipment. Similar though less extensive machinery exists at most of the other research and development establishments.
