§ Mr. Peter ThomasAbout £11,000 from funds provided by my Department was spent in the 1971–72 financial year on locally organised research designed to assist the disabled. This is however only a minor element in the body of relevant research sponsored by the Government. My Department shares, for example, in the extensive programme of research activities administered by the Department of Health and Social Security, in which projects to assist the disabled are included.
