PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Research (23 March 2015)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Mr Clive Betts (Labour)
Answer
The Department commissions a wide range of research to support its objectives. The general presumption is that research results used in the course of the Department’s business should be made available to broaden knowledge and better inform discussion. In a few circumstances (for instance, where the research relates to security matters or where the Department does not hold the necessary rights to publish) such information is not published; but such circumstances are exceptional. Information on publication of the outputs of this research is not collected centrally and could only be obtained at disproportionate cost.
