HC Deb 25 June 1993 vol 227 cc311-2W 311W

§ Mrs. Anne Campbell
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence how the science and technology in his Department will be affected by the White Paper on science engineering and technology; and if he will make a statement.

§ Mr. Aitken
The recent White Paper "Realising Our Potential—A Strategy for Science, Engineering and Technology" makes clear that my Department is making increased efforts to ensure that the technologies its research generates are more widely available for civil use; to exploit the commercial potential of its research; and to encourage collaboration with the civil sector wherever possible so as to enhance the contribution to the economy as a whole.
