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


Science Budget

This issue has come up several times, and I want to remind Members that there was a trade-off. When the Diamond synchrotron was going to be placed in Oxford—a decision I thoroughly supported—north-west Members were less than happy. I do not blame them for that, but there was a straight trade-off. It is now being dignified with the concept of regional policy, but it was a straight trade-off.
