The funding body, the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) agency, is expected to make a statement shortly.” 27 July 2026 at 1:02 pm #642159 Steve KnightParticipant Ridiculous. A cost saving of 2.8 millipercent of what we spend on debt interest a year. I’d contact the science minister but we don’t have one any more. 27 July 2026 at 1:28 pm #642160 Jeremy ShearsParticipant Scant detail in the UKRI announcement: https://www.ukri.org/news/stfc-details-outcomes-for-future-physics-projects/ Never mind the lack of a science minister Steve, where’s the King of the North?
