House of Lords written question – answered at on 4 November 2010.
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential use of the Waverley criteria in relation to ensuring that marketable ideas originating from research work at United Kingdom universities are developed within the United Kingdom.
No such assessment has been made and at present there are no plans to review the criteria or their operation. The Waverley criteria are designed to determine whether a cultural object, which is the subject of an export licence, is of national importance and should therefore remain in the country for the enjoyment of the public.
