HC Deb 10 April 2002 vol 383 c376W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what change there has been in UK performance on the Science Citation Index since 1999. [47351]

Ms Hewitt

Data from the Science Citation Index are used as an indicator of the relative quality of the UK Science and Engineering Base in my Department's Public Sector Agreement. The latest calculations show that there has been no change since 1999. Fuller details will be published shortly in my Department's Expenditure Plans report.
