§ Mrs. HartUp to £953,000 is being provided for the Institute's core budget in 1978–79. Additional payments will be made, as appropriate, for specially commissioned research work and for students financed from technical co-operation fund.
There was a thorough review of the Institute's work in 1975 prior to the decision on further financial support for the quinquennium 1976–81. I believe that it is fulfilling its current agreed objectives, and that its work is of very considerable merit and value.
