§ Mr. HoramPreparations for next year's week are at a very early stage and include consideration of ways to encourage greater participation by schools. The Office of Science and Technology will be making £200,000 available for the Week. This will come from the budget for promoting the public understanding of science, engineering and technology which the Government have increased by 25 per cent. to £1.25 million in 1995–96.
