Question
When she next plans to meet the Engineering and Technology Board to discuss the promotion of science, engineering and technology as a career choice for women.
Answer

The promotion of science, engineering and technology comes under the Office of Science and Innovation. The Minister for Science and Innovation meets regularly with the chair of the ETB. I am pleased to report that the board and the UK resource centre for women in science, engineering and technology are developing a memorandum of understanding to promote the role of women in science, engineering and technology. I met Annette Williams, the director of the UK resource centre, this week to discuss progress.
