Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what addition he proposes to make to the Universities Funding Council budget in respect of the switch of responsibility for the research role of the Zoological Society of London from the Department of the Environment.

The transfer of responsibility for the funding of the Institute of Zoology will be accompanied by an increase in the public funding of the universities by a sum equivalent to the institute's core funding requirement.
