Ms. Primarolo

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs how many research and development agreements and contracts have been funded by departments in the Foreign Office, excluding ODA, at universities and polytechnics; how many universities and polytechnics have received those research and development contracts and agreements; what is their total value in each of the last five years; and if he will list them.

Mr. Lennox-Boyd

There have been only two research contracts or agreements funded by the FCO at universities or polytechnics in the last five years. They were:

  • (i) Study by London University (School of Slavonic and East European Studies) on "The Inter-War Party and Political System in the present non-Soviet Warsaw Pact countries and its relevance today" (1990).
  • (ii) Study by London University (School of Oriental and African Studies on "Muslim militancy in sub-Saharan Africa") (1990).
    • The combined cost was £13,245·00.
