Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andy Slaughter and Amanda Solloway

Tuesday 21st July 2020 Commons Chamber

[Amanda Solloway]

I add my thanks to your team, Mr Speaker.

The hon. Gentleman will be aware that we have a taskforce that has been looking into how to support universities. It has enabled us to set up a stability fund, which will enable R&D to continue in our institutions. In addition, in the roadmap, which contains the place strategy, we are talking about lots of levelling up. We are making sure we have the opportunity to take this forward and become the science superpower that we all want to be.
