§ Mr. Gordon Wilsonasked the Secretary of State for Energy what proportion of the United Kingdom research and development funds for renewable energy is spent in Scotland.
§ Mr. MellorI regret that the proportion of total Government research and development funds for renewable energy spent in Scotland could be obtained only at disproportionate cost. Of my own Department's expenditure in this field about 11½ per cent. was spent in Scotland in the financial year 1980–81.
