HC Deb 16 May 1985 vol 79 c178W
Mr. Alfred Morris

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the progress of the work of the Institute of Hearing Research and on the adequacy of its findings.

Sir Keith Joseph

The programme of research at the Medical Research Council's Institute of Hearing Research continues to progress very well, and I understand that it is considered by the council to be of high scientific merit. The institute is making important contributions to knowledge on the problem of hearing.
