The Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, visited the LMB this morning to announce details of the Government’s long-term plan for science capital investment.
Mr Osborne was welcomed by the LMB Director, Hugh Pelham, and shown some of the world-class facilities in the Laboratory, which was opened by Her Majesty The Queen last May.
In his speech, the Chancellor announced that he was committing long-term funding to science, which was vital to attract researchers and investment.
