I move amendment No. 3:


In page 4, line 6, to delete "strategic".
On the need to integrate the applied science and the research, in Cambridge I met people who had been lectured to by Walton, the last Irish Nobel Prize winner. They all remember how good a lecturer he was, particularly for women who had not done physics in school. I am trying to make that linkage in the section but I appreciate that is what the Minister of State has in mind.

It was a telling illustration that the most famous person was remembered by his former students in the context to which I referred.
