HC Deb 15 May 1990 vol 172 c360W
Mr. Tim Smith

(Beaconsfield): To ask the Secretary of State for the Environment, what specific financial, efficiency and quality of service targets he has approved for the Building Research Establishment for the current year and for the longer term.

Mr. Chope

My right hon. Friend's statement on 28 March,Official Report, column 238 indicated the heads under which performance targets had been set for the Building Research Establishment for 1990–91. I can give the following figures:

Targets
net vote cost £1,764,000
untilisation rate for chargeable staff 1 per cent, improvement on previous financial year
non-Exchequer income as a percentage of total income 8.4 per cent.

Figures for other targets are commercially sensitive for the agency and will be treated in confidence. Performance targets for the longer term are currently being developed as part of the agency's corporate planning process.
