3. Mr. Morgan

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what provision exists for postgraduate training in meteorological and climate research.

Mr. Jackson

The Natural Environment and the Science and Engineering Research Councils are funding a total of 74 studentships for postgraduate study in meteorology and climate research in the 1989–90 academic year. In addition, the Meteorological Office provides training for its new graduate scientific staff, which enables them to proceed to posts in climate research.
