HC Deb 29 January 2003 vol 398 cc918-9W 918W

§ Matthew Taylor
To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry how many times the Advisory 919W Group on Nanotechnology Applications has met since April 2001; what its budget is for financial years 2003–4 and 2004–5; and if she will make a statement. [91957]

§ Ms Hewitt
The Group met on four occasions and also communicated between these meetings. The Group has now completed its work and has no budget.
DTI is currently finalising its policy on Nanotechnology and one of the steps will be to establish a Nanotechnology Strategic Advisory Group as a formal non-departmental public body.
