HC Deb 08 February 1971 vol 811 c66W
Mr. Allan

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what was the value of research grants made by the Social Science Research Council in each of the last three years to schools, or departments, of business administration and management.

Mrs. Thatcher

In 1967–68, 1968–69 and 1969–70, £0.103 million, £0.040 million and £0.045 million respectively. Over the same period the Council has made a considerable number of other research grants—to departments of economics, sociology and psychology, as well as to independent research institutions—which are also concerned with the problems of management and industry.
