HC Deb 11 July 1991 vol 194 c436W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is the practice for the Science and Engineering Council in setting up a capital project with regard to estimating and recording the actual manpower used at the end of a project.

Mr. Alan Howarth

We have been informed by the SERC that under arrangements now in force for consideration of major capital projects, full account is taken of the estimated direct and indirect manpower costs involved. Detailed arrangements for subsequent monitoring during project construction also apply.
