My Lords, I was astounded to hear the Minister suggest that research in universities is properly funded when in fact they have laboured because the research councils have supported flat cash for the last five years, so there has been no adjustment at all for inflation. That has had a very serious effect on all aspects of research, including postgraduate education.
