§ Mr. Hooleyasked the Minister of Technology what was the total United Kingdom production of gas in each of the years 1965 to 1969, inclusive.
Mr. Alan WilliamsThe following are the figures:
(M.S.L.) and the Scientists Appointment Service (S.A.S.), an organisation set up by the Royal Institute of Chemistry.
In the M.S.L. case the cost to the Department for the three-year term of the contract expiring in March, 1970 is £89,000; for S.A.S. the Ministry contribution for the two-year period up to March, 1970 is about £17,000.
I shall certainly explore my hon. Friend's proposal with the Department of Employment and Productivity.
