42. Mr. Kirkwood

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make it his policy to increase Government resources devoted to civilian research and development.

Mr. Walden

My right hon. Friend announced details of the Government's expenditure plans for education and science in the House on 12 November 1985. These plans included additional funds for science compared to previous plans. They will be further reviewed in the annual cycle of public expenditure surveys in the usual way.
