HC Deb 20 December 1988 vol 144 c200W
31. Dr. Bray

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what arrangements he has made for co-ordinating research on the greenhouse effect.

Mr. Jackson

The principal agencies funding relevant research on the global environment, namely, the Natural Environment Research Council, the Science and Engineering Research Council and the Meteorological Office, interact through channels including their Joint Climate Committee, the Robert Hooke Institute, and the United Kingdom Committee for the World Ocean Circulation Experiment. I understand that discussions are planned to further develop co-ordination in global environment research.
