Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Physics Research.


Physics Research

Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that we have only to look at the long-term impact of the Apollo space programme in the United States to see how what could be regarded as pure research or the pursuit of scientific goals directly impacts on the capability of the economic sector to make profit for the industry? Indeed, the United States is still benefiting from the investment that it made in the 1960s.
