asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science (1) if she will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT the title of the research project into reading difficulties of children which her Department is sponsoring at Leeds University, the names of the people conducting the research, the total cost of the project, and the estimated date of completion;

(2) if she will list in the OFFICIAL REPORT the research projects, other than that at Leeds University, which are sponsored by her Department and concerned with general reading difficulties, and state which of these have particular relevance to the problem of dyslexia.

Mr. van Straubenzee

"A Project for Operational Research on Dyslexia" under the direction of Professor P. Meredith at Leeds University received a grant of £21,000 from my Department, of which about £20,000 has so far been spent. Work on the project has been completed and the final report is now being written. No further research on this project is at present being sponsored by my Department.
