As per Hilary’s request, I will email a similar question to http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/any-questions/contact/
Yes. Greater funding for science would reduce the deficit in the long term, although I don’t see that as my main reason for supporting an increase in scientific research and science education funding. The main reason is: science is vital and the more wonderful scientists there are, the better the world will be (that is, if politicians were also wonderful). Keep up the good work.
