To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science if he will make a statement on the reasons for Mrs. Clark's dismissal from her post at Rothamsted experimental station, Hertfordshire.

Mrs. Clark was an employee of the Lawes Agricultural Trust, the governing body of the Rothamsted experimental station which is grant-aided by the agricultural and food research council (AFRC). The staff of the Rothamsted experimental station are employed on terms and conditions of service laid down by the AFRC.I understand that Mrs. Clark was dismissed following a disciplinary hearing conducted in accordance with the council's rules and procedures. An appeal to the Civil Service Appeal Board is pending and therefore I am unable to comment further.

All1 discretionary awards made under Section 1(6) and Section 2 of the 1962 Education Act (as amended).
