LORD HAWKEasked Her Majesty's Government:
Whether they will encourage research to find a commercial use for Sargassum muticum or Japanese seaweed now threatening our South Coast.
§ LORD BESWICKI would be glad to arrange for appropriate consideration to be given to specific proposals for research directed to a commercial use in this, as in other fields. Such proposals would need to be considered against the broad priorities that are being established by the appropriate Research Requirements Board machinery.
