Mr. Livsey
asked the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food if he has any plans to reintroduce the grant of £20,000 to the International Bee Research Association formerly given by the Development Commission; and if he will make a statement.
Mr. Donald Thompson
No. My Department's research funds are spent on commissioning specific work, including over £100,000 on topics of interest to beekeepers, rather than on grants to particular organisations.
