HC Deb 12 November 1975 vol 899 c776W
Mr. D. E. Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what proportion of the total expenditure by the Science Research Council is spent in institutions in (a) Wales, (b) England, and (c) the English regions.

Mr. Mulley

In 1974–75 about 70 per cent of the Science Research Council's total expenditure was incurred on central facilities at home and abroad for scientists from all parts of the United Kingdom. Of the remaining expenditure, on postgraduate training awards and research grants, rather over 4 per cent. related to institutions in Wales and about 85 per cent. to institutions in England. Figures for England regions are not readily available.
