§ Mr. Andrew F. BennettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science whether the Advisory Board for the Research Council survey commissioned to look at scientific equipment in United Kingdom universities and polytechnics has been completed; when the Government expects to receive a copy of the results; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. JacksonI understand that the Advisory Board for the Research Councils expects to receive the report of this survey around the end of this year. My right hon. Friend and I await with interest the information which is being collected and the ABRC's advice on its implications.
