Funding Of Particle Physics And Astronomy

EDM number 1082 in 2007-08, proposed by Adam Afriyie on 29/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Employment, Higher education, Public expenditure, Research and innovation and Science.

That this House notes with concern the impact of the science budget on particle physics and astronomy in the UK; regrets resulting job losses in university physics departments and major UK facilities, including the Daresbury Laboratory, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and the Astronomy Technology Centre; and calls for the Government to include in the Wakeham review of physics an assessment of the impact of the current funding crisis on the capacity and international reputation of UK science.

This motion has been signed by a total of 68 MPs.
