Lord Callanan (Con)
Again, the noble Lord raises an important subject. We clearly want to make sure that some of the top mathematicians stay in our universities to educate the next generation of young people. I will certainly take his remarks back to the Department for Education.
Lord Hamilton of Epsom (Con)
My Lords, the noble Baroness, Lady Garden of Frognal, says that maths should be fun for women. Can it actually be fun for anybody, even if it is very necessary for everyone?
Lord Callanan (Con)
I am sure that maths can be fun for everybody. I am disappointed that my noble friend does not think so.
