HC Deb 16 February 1988 vol 127 cc583-4W
78. Dr. Moonie

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what representations he has received following the publication of the Advisory Body on Research Councils, report "Strategy for Science"; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Jackson

My right hon. Friend has received 250 representations about the Advisory Board for the Research Council's discussion document "A Strategy for the Science Base". He will be making a statement later this year on the Government's conclusions on policy for the science base, taking account of the ABRC's recommendations and the comments of the higher education and scientific communities.
