§ Mr. DalyellTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what funding is given to the study of the psychology of the interface between computers and human operators with a view to redesigning computers; and what representations he has received from the Science and Engineering Research Council and Natural Environmental Research Council on this topic.
Mr. Jackson[pursuant to his reply,18 January 1988, c. 461]: I regret that an error was included in my answer. The £11.5 million spent on collaborative research into studies of the interface between computers and human operators referred to the total under the Alvey programme, and not solely to expenditure by the Science and Engineering Research Council as my answer implied.
