HC Deb 19 June 1984 vol 62 c107W
18. Mr. Dalyell

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if the 1984–85 budget for the Medical Research Council's brain metabolism units at Edinburgh has yet been finalised; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Brooke

I understand that the Medical Research Council has not yet settled the budget of its brain metabolism unit for 1984–85. The unit's interim budget includes an allowance of £87,000 for running costs other than staff and administration costs during the first six months of 1984–85; its requirements for the full year are currently being reviewed by the council in consultation with the unit's director.
