HC Deb 25 October 1989 vol 158 c507W
Dr. David Clark

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what rules govern the publication of findings of research projects at his research laboratories; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Gummer

When the work has been completed and necessary steps taken to protect intellectual property rights, the findings of research projects at MAFF laboratories are published in appropriate scientific journals. For research funded on a contract basis for an outside customer, the question of publication is a matter for the terms of the individual contract.
