HC Deb 14 March 1989 vol 149 cc212-3W
Mr. Thomas

To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment if he will make a statement on the United Kingdom contribution to the joint global ocean flux study investigating the role of oceans in global climate change.

Mr. Jackson

I have been asked to reply.

The biogeochemical ocean flux study (BOFS) of the Natural Environment Research Council provides the United Kingdom component of the joint global ocean flux study (JGOFS). The BOFS involves 60 scientists and 14 laboratories, and expenditure of at least £3 million in 1989–90. The United Kingdom is also represented on the joint global ocean flux study international scientific committee.
