Conservative — Windsor

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 January 2025

Debate

Mathematical Sciences Academy

Contribution

In the last financial year, the Department underspent by nearly £600 million. The proposed national maths academy was due to cost just £6 million—1% of that total. People are disappointed by this cancellation. Can the Secretary of State explain whether he cancelled the academy because he does not value the role of our national academies, or because he does not think mathematical sciences are important?
