As I was saying, the member's motion is basically a work of fantasy and, when you look at the notice paper, with her motion and the details of the motion, she made a whole list of erroneous things which, funnily enough, have not played a part in her speech at all. I am not quite sure why. But never let the truth get in the way of a good story. It is ironic that this is the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Waterloo, when Napoleon famously said, 'In politics, never retreat, never retract, never admit a mistake.'

The member in her notice paper will be relieved to hear that there have been no funding cuts to science in the 2015 budget. No, there haven't.
