HC Deb 23 July 1987 vol 120 c326W
Mr. Brandon-Bravo

asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has received advice from the Advisory Board for the Research Councils on science budget expenditures.

Mr. Kenneth Baker

The ABRC submitted advice last month in connection with this year's public expenditure survey. I have arranged for it to be published today. The board's advice will be considered carefully by the Government in the context of the survey and I shall inform the board and the House of our conclusions in the autumn.
