Letter to the Clerk of the Committee from
Dr L Goldstone, Deputy Secretary, the Institution of Electrical
Engineers
Thank you for your letter of 15 December 1998
addressed to Dr Williams, which has been passed to me for attention.
Since preparing our original submission last
March, we have noted with satisfaction the increasing emphasis
which the Government is placing on the importance of science,
technology and engineering to the well-being of the UK. We are
particularly pleased that Lord Sainsbury has been appointed Minister
for Science at the DTI. Thus, we would perhaps have wished to
reflect this change in paragraph 16 in our submission[28].
Other than that, we have nothing further to add.
28 See above. Back
