Europe And The Future Of British Science

EDM number 331 in 1991-92, proposed by Geoffrey Pattie on 04/12/1991.

That this House welcomes the 1991 Triennial Report of the Advisory Council on Science and Technology, and its conclusion that the United Kingdom needs to develop a vision of the opportunities which will arise in a more integrated Europe; regrets that science and technology have been much neglected components of the European debate; heartily endorses the Prime Minister's conclusion in his preface to the report that it will stimulate further debate on the direction and deployment of research and development resources; and therefore calls on the Leader of the House to provide an adequate and early opportunity for such a debate before irrevocable decisions are taken on the scale, direction and organisation of the nation's science.

This motion has been signed by a total of 25 MPs.
