My question relates to the new research and innovation Bill. I am aware that the Minister met with a wide range of academics on this topic. He will have heard their concerns, which they have also raised with me, that they feel no official public consultation took place in respect of the Bill. Will the Minister respond to that particular issue? Will he allow people with concerns to voice them?
