Dr. Starkey: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment how many science graduates completed teacher training broken
down by subject into (a) chemistry, (b) physics and (c) biology, (i) in total and (ii) as a percentage of the total graduates
completing teacher training in each year between 1993 and 1997. [57079]
Mr. Charles Clarke: The number of graduates in Chemistry, Physics and Biology and other related sciences who completed a
Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) in England and Wales between 1993 and 1996 and the number expressed as a percentage of
all graduates completing a PGCE are given in the table:

Dr. Gibson: To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what plans he has to co-ordinate the work of scientific
"hands-on" centres across the UK. [57261]
Mr. Chris Smith: I have no such plans. However, the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) will shortly be
publishing a consultation document, outlining, among other things, its proposals for a programme which aims to contribute to the UK
public's knowledge and appreciation of science, technology and the arts. Subject to the outcome of the consultation, such "hands-on"
centres may be able to bid for contracts being awarded by NESTA or enter into joint venture with them. This would obviously be a
matter for the Chairman and Trustees of NESTA.

Mr. Jenkins: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what measures his Department is taking to increase the
supply of science teachers. [57944]
Mr. Charles Clarke: Last week, my hon. Friend the Minister for School Standards announced a package of short-term measures to boost
teacher recruitment, intended in particular to tackle problems recruiting secondary teachers in science and maths. Our proposals
include:
a £5,000 incentive for all those graduates training in and going on to teach science or maths;
a new scheme to match 600 of the 7,000 people who have already told the Teacher Training Agency (TTA) that they would like to train
on the job as teachers, to existing vacancies as science and maths teachers;
the establishment of a new network of advisers at regional level to co-ordinate and energise local recruitment activities in areas
of the country where shortages are most acute;
mobilising the Employment Service to encourage unemployed people with the right experience and qualifications to train or re-train
as teachers; and
launching a drive to encourage returners to teaching.
The package will give added impetus to the strong programme of action already being taken forward by the TTA to boost teacher
recruitment.
Looking ahead, our Green Paper on the modernisation of the teaching profession, to be published before the end of the year, will
propose a range of fundamental reforms to improve the attractiveness of teaching as a career.

Mr. Dobbin: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what steps he is taking to promote the use of science, engineering
and technology across Government. [55080]
Mr. Mandelson: The effective use of science, engineering and technology is one of my key priorities. The Government have already
allocated an additional £1.4 billion over the next three years, including £0.4 billion from the Wellcome Trust, to restore the
excellence of the Science and Engineering Base. And the forthcoming Competitiveness White Paper will demonstrate that science is
fundamental to helping UK companies address the challenges of the knowledge-driven economy.
Within Government we will seek to ensure that policy and regulation are always based on the best available scientific evidence. Lord
Sainsbury and I will be working with Ministers in other Government Departments both to make sure the Chief Scientific Advisor's
Guidelines on the use of scientific advice in policy making are fully and rigorously implemented and to improve public confidence in
the Government's use of scientific advice.

Dr. Starkey: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment he has made of the contribution of the science
base to the UK economy as a whole. [55067]
Mr. Mandelson: The strength of Britain's science base is absolutely fundamental to the success of the UK economy. I plan to publish
soon a Competitiveness White Paper which will demonstrate how the use and application of science is helping companies meet the
challenges of the knowledge driven economy.
The UK's future success depends crucially on a partnership between the science base and the commercial sector. Most importantly, it
depends on the well-trained, skilled people produced by and working in our scientific centres.

Mr. Pollard: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will announce the allocation of the Science Budget; and if
he will make a statement. [56842]
Mr. Mandelson: As a result of the Comprehensive Spending Review, the Science Budget was increased by £700 million over the next
three years. This is solid evidence that science is a major priority for the Government. Of these additional funds, £300 million is
the Science Budget contribution to a ground breaking £600 million partnership with the Wellcome Trust to upgrade university research
laboratories and equipment. I am most grateful to the Trustees of the Trust for their contribution, and also their further
contribution of £110 million towards the cost of a new high intensity X-ray source. Over the period of these allocations, £35
million of the Science Budget has been reserved for this DIAMOND project. A further £20 million of the additional money for the
Science Budget is earmarked for the Science Budget's contribution to "University Challenge", a joint project to provide seed corn
funding to enable universities to exploit ideas emerging from their research.
After receiving advice from action from the Director General of Research Councils, I have decided that the Science Budget should be
allocated as follows:
£ million

Mr. Plaskitt: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will make a statement on the outcome of the EU Research
Council on 13 October. [55993]
Mr. Mandelson: Lord Sainsbury, Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State and Minister for Science, represented the UK at the meeting of
the EU Research Council on 13 October. The Council made further useful progress in the legislative process for the Fifth Framework
Programme for Research and Technological Development (FP5), maintaining momentum in the tight timetable for introducing FP5 at the
beginning of 1999. Though formal agreement was not possible at this stage, informal agreement was reached on the scientific and
technological content of three of the specific programmes which set out FP5's research priorities in detail. The Council also agreed
Decisions on the mandate for negotiating terms of association with FP5 with the countries seeking accession to the EU, on the
conclusion of an agreement for scientific and technological co-operation between the European Community and the United States, and
on amendments to the statutes of the Joint European Torus Joint Undertaking (JET), through which the EU pursues nuclear fusion
research.
