HC Deb 14 October 1975 vol 897 c656W
35. Mr. Frank Allaun

asked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will consider devoting 1 per cent. of the £535 million a year spent on military research and development to peace research similar to that instituted by the Swedish Government.

Mr. William Rodgers

SIPRI is an international foundation funded directly by the Swedish Parliament. To divert defence resources for a similar purpose would not be to act in parallel.
