“Will my hon. Friend the Minister briefly give way on the overall funding issue?”
- Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus (1 Apr 2008)
“As ever, my hon. Friend the Minister makes fair points about the overall allocation of funding. However, it was a Government commitment that the STFC would be left with no legacy issues and yet, because of the overrun of the costs of Diamond by £75 million, the STFC has been left with a deficit. We are seeing part of the problems of dealing with that deficit in Daresbury, are we not?”
