HC Deb 16 July 1993 vol 228 cc684-5W
Mr. Llew Smith

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he make a further statement on the benefits that will accrue to the environmental technologies of the implementation of his strategy for science as set out in his White Paper, Cm 2250.

Mr. Waldegrave

The White Paper "Realising Our Potential" will help us build on our strengths in science, engineering and technology. In particular, environmental technologies will benefit from the work of the Natural Environment Research Council, with its new mission statement and the closer relationship it will establish with users of its research.
