HC Deb 31 March 1976 vol 908 c474W
Mr. Banks

asked the Secertary of State for Defence what are the estimated reductions in research expenditure for each of the next seven years if the measures in Command Paper No. 6432 are carried out.

Mr. William Rodgers

A precise division of expenditure between research on the one hand and development on the other is not possible. It is estimated, however, that research expenditure, both intramurally and extramurally, will be reduced by about 10 per cent. from planned levels over the next two to three years, levelling off thereafter.
