HC Deb 12 February 1991 vol 185 c438W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he has any plans to negotiate a higher basic country contribution to the European nuclear research centre.

Mr. Alan Howarth

The United Kingdom, in conjunction with other members, will continue to encourage CERN to increase the proportion of its budget financed from sources outside the member state contribution system. This could include further assistance, either in cash or in kind, from the two host states.
