Will the Secretary of State and her team pay much more attention to the science and innovation possibilities in the hydrogen sector—that is, hydrogen energy and power? This is something we are good at, and the research is there. We need to be there quickly before the Chinese dominate the market.

I gently say that the hon. Gentleman should pay attention to the hydrogen strategy, which shows we are leaning forward and ensuring that we can capture the investment, de-risk any of the testing and ensure that intellectual property can be commercialised here in the UK. We of course see hydrogen in the mix in our future energy spectrum.
I do not want to ruin the Minister’s Christmas celebrations, which are imminent, but if he looks at the deplorable investment in research and development—the figures that came out only this week—does he not see that he needs to wake up and smell the coffee? The fact of the matter is that research and innovation will be deeply damaged by leaving the European Union. He should ask the universities what they think.

I know that the hon. Gentleman will welcome the Government’s commitment to research and development, which was underscored in the autumn statement with a further £2 billion by the end of this Parliament—perhaps the biggest single increase in R and D expenditure by any Government in the memory of anyone in this Parliament.
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will ensure that the science budget will be maintained in real terms.

This Government has made a long term science capital commitment investing £6.9bn in the UK’s research infrastructure up to 2021.
Future allocations for science resource funding will be determined at the forthcoming Spending Review.
That this House congratulates Katherine Lister (Greenhead College), Scarlett Harris (Godalming Sixth Form College), Matthew Johnston (The Judd School) and Anna Sozanska (St Leonards-Mayfield School) on their recent achievement in having been elected to represent the UK at the International Biology Olympiad in July which is being held in Switzerland; notes that over 4,200 students took part in the first round of this competition and that 155 students with the highest scores took part in the more demanding second round and that the four winning students were chosen from the top 16 students, who competed at the British Biology Olympiad final held at the University of Reading last week; wishes the UK team all the very best; and congratulates the Society of Biology and the UK Biology Competitions Special Interest Group for its key role in organising this competition.

To ask the Secretary of State for Education what assessment he has made of the level of uptake of residential experiences by students studying geography and science in secondary schools in areas with multiple deprivation following the introduction of pupil premiums.

Information on residential experiences for school pupils studying either geography or science is not collected centrally. Schools are free to deploy their pupil premium funding as they wish, as school leaders and teachers are the professionals best placed to understand and respond to the individual educational needs of their disadvantaged pupils. This will include, in appropriate cases, supporting disadvantaged pupils' attendance on field trips and residential study opportunities.
At the same time, Ofsted have an increased focus on the performance of pupils who attract the premium, and on how it is used to remove barriers to learning for premium pupils. Since September 2012, as part of routine school inspection, Ofsted holds school leaders to account by looking at how schools have spent their pupil premium and at their rationale. Inspectors will examine what difference this is making to the learning and progress of the pupils concerned. Their judgments on schools' leadership will consider their use of both the premium and other resources to overcome barriers to achievement for their pupils.
Indeed. Would the Minister accept that the withdrawal of funding for the Women into Science and Engineering campaign is not a good idea if we are to be serious about getting more women into engineering and science?

No, I do not recognise that point at all. The employer ownership pilots are doing precisely the opposite in the first round. We are looking for more innovative, thoughtful and new ways of ensuring that funding gets to the right places, including to women, where their representation in a particular sector is low.
