I wish to ask Dr. Lillis about the meaning of a particular section in the general scheme. Heads 8 and 9 set out the objects and functions respectively. Paragraphs (e) and (k) of head 9 indicate that one of the functions of the new board shall be to advance equality of opportunity, diversity and inclusion in research and innovation. Is that a reference to the subject matter being researched or is it a reference to the researchers?
