HC Deb 06 July 1981 vol 8 c36W
Mr. David Young

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science how many staff in science or technology are likely to be discharged as a result of his proposals on universities.

Dr. Boyson

It is too early to say how many university staff will be made redundant as result of reductions in universities' recurrent grant, or how these redundancies will fall between particular subject areas.
