11 March 2020

Commitment by chancellor signals the UK’s desire to remain a world leader in science and innovation.


Commenting on today’s budget, Professor Paul Hardaker, CEO of the Institute of Physics, said: “Today’s budget provides a welcome and major boost for UK science and technology, and sends a clear message from government.

“This long-term commitment will help the private sector as they make their own investment plans, and signals the UK’s desire to remain a world-leading place for science and innovation.

“We very much look forward to working with government on delivering these ambitions.”
