§ Ms MowlamTo ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he will list the measures additional to the small grants scheme taken by the Office of Science and Technology as part of the campaign to promote the public understanding of science.
§ Mr. David DavisThe White Paper, "Realising our Potential" (Cm. 2250), lists a number of measures which the Government intend will be part of this campaign, in addition to the public understanding of science grants scheme. These include support for the creativity in science and technology awards scheme in schools; working with the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the British Association for the Advancement of Science to bring greater coherence to regional initiatives in the field; and co-sponsorship of a mobile exhibition on the theme of science for the 21st century. We shall also be discussing with organisations active in the public understanding of science the scope for encompassing within the campaign their own activities and events. I shall make further announcements on all these proposals in due course.
