To ask the Secretary of State for Social Security what were the indicative contributions to the EU budget in respect of research and development for his Department in 1993–94. [1916]

Mr. Burt

Table 2.1 of the statistical supplement to the "Forward Look of Government-funded Science, Engineering and Technology" contains indicative figures for the United Kingdom's contributions to the EC budget in respect of research and development. Departments' policy responsibilities are subject to change and can vary from year to year. This Department currently has responsibility for 0.12 per cent. of the Community's R and D budget.
