Lord Vallance of Balham (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 May 2025

Debate

Science and Innovation: Alan Turing Institute

Contribution

I thank the noble Baroness. I wonder whether she read the piece I wrote, which said something very similar. I agree entirely that this has to be inclusive innovation and that it is not about two shiny objects at the end of the line—Oxford and Cambridge—but about the corridor in its entirety. It absolutely needs to involve all the local partners in making this happen. At the end of it, it needs to improve opportunities and the economics for everybody.
