§ Mr. Brothertonasked the Secretary of State for Industry for what purpose his Department is running a campaign on tribology; how many civil servants are involved in it; and what is its cost to public funds.
§ Mr. Les HuckfieldMy Department's campaign to promote tribology was discontinued at the end of financial year 1974–75, shortly after the dissolution of the Committee on Tribology. Since then only incidental and low-key publicity has been given to tribology, by exploiting suitable projects in the current campaign to promote other industrial technologies. Staff involvement and expenditure are both negligible.
