The Minister for Science, Research and Innovation (George Freeman)
As the Prime Minister has made clear, we are putting maths at the heart of our curriculum. I am ensuring that maths is properly funded to our research ecosystem. I will happily meet the hon. Member and talk to her about it.
Chris Green (Bolton West) (Con)
