asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science at what level the United Kingdom is represented on the International Agency for Research on Cancer; when the last meeting was held; when a United Kingdom representative was last in the chair; what was the United Kingdom subscription in the year 1976–77; and in what publication the annual report of the work of the organisation is available.

Mrs. Shirley Williams

Representation is by the secretary and a senior principal medical officer of the Medical Research Council. The last meeting of the General Council was on 28th and 29th April 1977. A United Kingdom representative chaired the 1973 meeting of the Council. The 1976–77 subscription was £261,000. The agency issues its own annual report which is available from Her Majesty's Stationery Office.
