We are facing a Crisis of Science.
Part of the answer to those questions must lie in the questions to which my hon. Friend the Member for Canterbury (Mr. Crouch) addressed himself - what he called the Crisis of Science.
Britain now faces a Crisis in Science more serious than at any time since the war.
This country faces a Serious Science Crisis.
Do the Government now appreciate that there is a Science Crisis?
How seriously are the Government taking the Crisis in Science?
That said, it is important to recognise, as the Roberts review did, that there is not a Crisis in Science in our universities.
It will be difficult for the Minister to disagree that there is a Crisis in Science in our schools today.
We all know where the science, technology and development is, so if the Crisis in the Science is so grave, what is the difficulty in saying, "Sorry, guys, but the next generation has to comply - go to it"?
