HC Deb 18 December 1980 vol 996 c317W
Mr. Ancram

asked the Secretary of State for Scotland what is the cost of operating the Scottish agricultural institutes' governing bodies and boards of directors.

Mr. Younger

The members of the governing bodies and boards of directors of the eight Scottish agricultural research institutes grant-aided by me do not receive salaries but may claim travel and subsistence expenses incurred in attending meetings. The amount of these expenses in the financial year 1979–80 was £9,220.
