With the 2015 general election fast approaching, Britain’s main political parties are starting to draw battle lines on key issues. But where do they stand on science, and what would they do differently if they form a Government later this year? Greg Clark, Minister for Universities, Science and Cities, Julian Huppert, former research scientist and Liberal Democrats MP, and Liam Byrne, Shadow Universities, Science and Skills Minister, debate the future of science and engineering in the UK after the 2015 General Election. The debate was chaired by Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock. The Royal Society hosted the Campaign for Science and Engineering’s annual cross-party Science Ministers' debate on Wednesday 14 January, 6.30 pm.
