HC Deb 05 December 1973 vol 865 c412W
Mr. Whitehead

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science on what grounds her Department turned down a request for Government aid for research into dyslexia by the University of Aston Applied Psychology Department, following in its submission on the training of teachers to the Bullock Committee.

Mr. Raison

The funds available to the Department for educational research are heavily committed. Also, it is advisable to await the findings of the Bullock Committee before entering into advance commitments to sponsor research into reading difficulties.
