Mr. Grylls

asked the Secretary of State for Trade what proportion of the £4 million he intends spending on research and development in 1980–81 and the £5.5 million in 1981–82 will be allocated to firms employing less than 200 people.

Mr. Eyre

For 1980–81 the proportion of the Department's expenditure on research and development allocated to firms employing less than 200 people is estimated at just under 9 per cent. and for 1981–82 just over 12 per cent.
