Agriculture: Research

Question
What the cost to the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council has been, and is likely to be, of redundancies in Rothamsted Research (and its predecessor body) and the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research consequential on funding decisions taken by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and its agencies since 2003–04.
Answer

Rothamsted Research, its predecessor body (the Institute of Arable Crops Research) and the Institute of Grassland and Environmental Research are research institutes of the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC). Therefore, redundancy costs at these institutes are a matter for the BBSRC.
