Proceeding contribution from Lord Vaizey of Didcot (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 December 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Scientific Publications: Free for all?.


Scientific Publications: Free for all?

: The first point is that I felt I was giving the views not only of the publishers, but of members of the academic community and learned societies. The hon. Member for Bolton, South-East (Dr. Iddon) made it clear that a great debate is raging; it is not simply a case of the commercial publishers on one side and their opponents on the other. It is insidious to suggest that the commercial publishers are paying slave wages. There are many people on low wages in academia as well, and in many other industries.
