Mr. Warren
asked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry which laboratories within his Department have had their research budgets reduced in the current financial year; what is the financial value of the reduction; what is this figure expressed as a percentage of the total work carried out in the laboratory; and which of his laboratories are being considered for privatisation.
Mr. Butcher
None of my Department's laboratories have had their research budgets reduced in this financial year and none are currently being considered for privatisation.
