HC Deb 12 February 1991 vol 185 c434W
20. Mr. Cousins

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science when he last met the chairman of the Science and Engineering Research Council to discuss the funding of scientific research; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Alan Howarth

My right hon. and learned Friend occasionally meets the chairman of the Science and Engineering Research Council. I have met Sir Mark Richmond twice recently when the funding of scientific research was among the issues discussed.
