Mr. Jacksonasked the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he anticipates that his advisory board for the research councils will be in a position to advise him further about the United Kingdom participation in the European Organisation for Nuclear Research.
§ Mr. BrookeI understand that the chairman of the Advisory Board for the Research Councils (ABRC) expects to receive the report of the group chaired by Sir John Kendrew, which is reviewing the United Kingdom's participation in high energy particle physics, in April 1985. That report is expected to include recommendations about United Kingdom participation in the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN). The review36W group will also report to the chairman of the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC), as required by its terms of reference. The ABRC and the SERC will thereafter submit their advice on the report, including advice about United Kingdom participation in CERN, to my right hon. Friend.
