91W
§ Mr. GummerAll research and development funded by MAFF takes environmental consideration fully into account. That work which is specifically concerned with the environment is listed in the second edition of the "Register of Government-funded Agriculture/Environment R and D in the United Kingdom", a copy of which I am placing in the Library of the House. Details for 1980–83 are not readily available and could be produced only at disproportionate cost. Details for 1989 are not yet available.
