Proceeding contribution from Ian Taylor (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 July 2007. It occurred during Estimates day on Department for Trade and Industry.


Department of Trade and Industry

As an amateur scientist—the hon. Gentleman is a professional—I sometimes get frustrated when I have to defend science, because many scientists do not explain or defend it. It is a big frustration that, too often, scientists in this country do not engage in public appreciation exercises, although they really should if they want their sector to flourish.
