asked the Secretary of State for Education and Science what amounts of funding from his Department have been used by the Advisory Council for Adult and Continuing Education to produce research monographs; and how many of these have been published, giving the cost of each.

The National Institute of Adult Education was commissioned by my Department to produce 12 monographs overviewing existing research in areas of adult and continuing education. The project, which also includes the creation of an extensive computer-based bibliography, has received grants totalling £66,816 up to 31 March 1982. The National Institute has so far published 9 monographs at a cost of £3 each.
