Proceeding contribution from Pat McFadden (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 July 2009. It occurred during Topical debate on UK Manufacturing.


UK Manufacturing

I agree that there has traditionally been difficulty in bringing great ideas from the laboratory to the market. That is why, as part of "Building Britain's Future" we have announced an innovation fund, to be shared between Government and levered-in private sector funding, to do precisely what the hon. Gentleman is talking about. I hope he welcomes that initiative.
