Dr. Strang: To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many scientists were employed by his Department and each of his Department's agencies on (a) the most recent date available and (b) for each year since 1979 on matters equivalent to those covered by MAFF; and if he will list each agency, service or central laboratory employing scientists on such projects. [18168] Mr. Ancram: [holding answer 5 March 1997]: It is possible to provide only details of the numbers of staff employed in each year since 1990. To provide details for earlier years would involve an expensive and time-consuming exercise to extract the information. I am advising therefore that disproportionate costs apply other than where the information is provided. _________________________________________________________________________________________________.
