Part of Orders of the Day — Clause 17 – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 19 October 1976.
It was natural that I should refer to the Prime Minister's speech, as it must be in the minds of many hon. Members today. My right hon. Friend's speech is highly topical. There was nothing in what he said to suggest that those who take degrees in pure subjects should not go into industry. On the contrary, my right hon. Friend the Prime Minister was arguing among other things that we want more people in industry.
