HC Deb 23 July 2002 vol 389 cc918-9W
Mr. Breed

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, pursuant to her answer of 20 June 2002,Official Report, column 472W, on farming research, how many projects, by category, were funded in each year since 1991–92. [64851]

Mr. Morley

[holding answer 27 June 2002]: Many hundreds of new research projects are initiated every year. I regret that a breakdown of these projects in the form requested could be supplied only at disproportionate cost. However, details of current DEFRA funded projects can be found on the Department's website at http:// www.defra.gov.uk/research/projects. Information on all rural livelihoods, natural resources and environment projects funded by the Department for International Development since 1992 can be found on the Natural, al Resources Information System (NARSIS) searchable on-line database www.narsis.org.
