People and skills in UK science, technology, engineering and mathematics

Inquiry

The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee is conducting an inquiry into people and skills in science, technology, engineering and mathematics in the UK. The inquiry will consider whether the UK has a sufficiently skilled workforce to become a “science and technology superpower”, and what policies can be done to develop and retain skills in the UK workforce. The Committee has issued a call for written evidence, and will be taking oral evidence from September 2022.

This inquiry is no longer accepting evidence

The deadline for submissions was Tuesday 6 September 2022.
