Proceeding contribution from Bill Rammell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Science in Higher Education.


Science in Higher Education

Yes, I am. The hon. Gentleman will recall that the then chief executive of the Higher Education Funding Council and I gave detailed evidence to his Committee when it was conducting its inquiry. We commissioned HEFC to review the status and the position of STEM subjects. It concluded that there is not a crisis in this country, and I agree with that. I will address some of the specific points later. We need highly skilled scientists. They are essential to the future competitive health and well-being of this country.
