§ Mr. JackTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has received advice from the Advisory Board for the Research Councils in relation to the public expenditure survey for 1988; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Kenneth BakerI am publishing the advice today and would like to express my appreciation to Sir David Phillips and the board for the work they have done. Copies have been placed in the Library and the Vote Office. I will be considering the advice carefully in discussions on the 1988 survey and in the context of the Government's reply to the board's strategy document.
