The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills has not collected any quantitative information on the number of zero-hours contracts in the UK which bar any additional employment. The Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) suggested, in its report Zero Hours Contracts: Myth and reality<\/em> that 9% of workers on zero hours contracts reported that they were never allowed to work for another employer when their primary employer had no work for them.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p>"}

The MRC funds a broad portfolio of diabetes research which amounted to £24 million in 2012/13. Of this, £3.6 million (15%) is relevant to Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). This includes underpinning studies relevant to diabetes in general, as well as studies on the prevention, treatment and the downstream consequences of T1D. Expenditure on T1D research over the last five years is as follows:<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Medical Research Council expenditure on Type 1 diabetes, 2008/9 to 2012/13<\/p> <\/p> Year Expenditure<\/p> <\/p> 2008/09 £4.7m<\/p> <\/p> 2009/10 £3.7m<\/p> <\/p> 2010/11 £3.6m<\/p> <\/p> 2011/12 £4.0m<\/p> <\/p> 2012/13 £3.6m<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> Note: where a research project is related to both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, 100% of the project value has been included in the totals shown above.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The MRC does not routinely analyse expenditure on diabetes research beyond an analysis of T1D and Type 2 Diabetes research. However, details of all research supported by the MRC, including summaries describing the aims of the research and links to research publications and outputs can be found on the Research Council UK's Gateway to Research at: http://gtr.rcuk.ac.uk/<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The MRC does not normally allocate funds to particular topics but always welcomes high quality applications into any aspect of human health. All applications are judged in open competition and the primary considerations in funding decisions are scientific quality and importance to human health. In keeping with the Haldane principle, decisions on research priorities and funding are taken by the Research Councils based on advice from the scientific community through peer review.<\/p> <\/p> <\/p> <\/p> The Technology Strategy Board spend on T1D in the last three years was £354,879.00. This relates to a project which ran in 2010/11.<\/p> <\/p>"}
