HC Deb 19 January 1970 vol 794 c7W
56. Mr. J. H. Osborn

asked the Minister of Technology what projects will be cut back to account for the saving in cost of Government research and development estimated at £66.8 million in 1971–72 as against the estimated £71 million in 1969–70 as outlined in Command Paper No. 4234; and if he will tabulate details in the OFFICIAL REPORT.

Dr. Ernest Davies

Reductions will be made in expenditure on civil nuclear and aerospace research and development in A.E.A. and Mintech Establishments. In neither field is it expected that existing projects will be cut back because of these reductions.
