§ Mr. Strangasked the Secretary of State for Defence if he will list Ministry of Defence research contracts currently placed with British universities and other educational establishments.
§ Mr. Norman LamontThe Ministry of Defence has currently 757 research agreements and a small number of contracts with British universities and other institutions of higher education at an annual cost of some 10 million a year, which is planned to increase. It would involve102W disproportionate effort to list each research agreement, but if the hon. Gentleman has any specific area of interest, I will see what can be done to help him.
