Proceeding contribution from Lord Prior of Brampton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 23 October 2017. It occurred during Question for short debate on Science and Innovation Strategy.


Science and Innovation Strategy

I have two quick comments on that. First, place is very important. We cannot address this fundamental productivity problem that has been mentioned in the south-east—if this is a golden triangle strategy, we have failed, so place is very important. Secondly, UKRI is bringing together Innovate UK with the research councils, and that is extremely important. I assure the noble Lords, Lord Willis and Lord Bhattacharyya, that Innovate UK is of fundamental importance to this; it would be a disaster if it got captured by the research councils.
