HC Deb 13 July 1983 vol 45 cc362-3W
Mr. Batiste

asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement concerning the recommendations of the advisory council on applied research and development in its report "Improving Research Links between Higher Education and Industry".

Mr. Butcher

I have little to add to what my right hon. Friend Lord Cockfield said in another place on 4 July. The Government welcome the report on "Improving Research Links between Higher Education and Industry". Careful consideration will be given to the recommendations and full response will be made in due course.
