Proceeding contribution from Ian Stewart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 July 2008. It occurred during Estimates day on Science Budget.


Science Budget

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it was the foresight of successive British Governments that brought the partnership for CERN together? Indeed, it is fair to say that no Governments in the world could afford to do such a thing now. Do not those British Governments, and Britain, deserve a pat on the back for the things that have come out of CERN, such as the world wide web? They could only have been brought about with the support of the British Government.
