HC Deb 03 December 1996 vol 286 c623W
Mr. Ingram

To ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he will provide a breakdown of the savings on research and development expenditure by his Department announced in the Budget. [7154]

Mr. Boswell

Funding for BSE-related research is being increased and this will involve some redirection from other areas of the Department's research, MAFF funds a wide and varied research programme. Small savings will be made from lower priority work across the whole programme, but it is not possible to provide a detailed programme.
