Lords S&T Select Houses of Parliament The Science and Technology Committee was established in 1979 and is one of the main investigative committees in the House of Lords. The Committee has around 15 members, re-appointed by the House for each Session of Parliament. The Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the House. www.parliament.uk /parliamentary_committees/lords_s_t_select.cfm

Science and Technology For over a decade the House of Lords Committee was the only forum considering science and technology issues made up solely of British parliamentarians. The Committee's reports have consistently drawn attention to the fragmented nature of the Government's research and development policies, to the failure to develop adequate mechanisms for funding strategic research, and to the areas of science neglected at the interface of Research Councils' areas of interest. The Committee's report on Information Society: Agenda for Action in the UK was published on 31 July 1996, and was the first Select Committee report from either House of the United Kingdom Parliament to be published on the Internet. www.parliament.the-stationery-office.co.uk /pa/ld199697/ldinfo/ld16sctk/ld16sctk.htm

Letter to Representative Nussle, Chairman of House Budget Committee As you and your colleagues develop America’s budget priorities for FY 2002, the undersigned professional, academic and industry organizations urge you to make federal investment in basic science and engineering research a priority by providing a strong allocation for general science, space and technology (Function 250) in the FY 2002 Budget Resolution. Last year Congress made bipartisan commitments to strengthen science, engineering and long-term growth by significantly boosting basic research investments in agencies such as the National Science Foundation, the National Aeronautic and Space Administration, and the Department of Energy. Therefore, we hope that as you craft this year’s Budget Resolution, you will help keep America on the path of technological progress and economic prosperity by continuing the strong investments made last year in Function 250 research programs. www.cnie.org /updates/90.htm   (320 words)

Committee on Science The Committee officially began on January 3, 1959, and on its 20th Anniversary the Honorable Charles Mosher said, the committee "was born of an extraordinary House‑Senate joint leadership initiative, a determination to maintain American preeminence in science and technology,..." In addition to these legislative functions, the Committee on Science and Technology was assigned a "special oversight" function, giving it the exclusive responsibility among all Congressional standing committees to review and study, on a continuing basis, all laws, programs and government activities involving Federal nonmilitary research and development.

House Committee on Science The House Leadership and Budget Committee Chairman Jim Nussle are to be congratulated for undertaking a comprehensive search for potential areas where we can cut wasteful spending. And last year, we reauthorized the National Science Foundation (NSF) - which is the one agency that has received praise for its financial management from the White House Office of Management and Budget.

Research News The Democrats on the House Science Committee have voiced the concern that the combination of these new initiatives and the failure to provide inflation increases will result in a 3% reduction in the support of the NSF. Funding for the National Science Foundation (NSF), for example, which supports research in a wide range of disciplines, including computer science, engineering, math, physics, economics, and life sciences, is slated for an increase of just $56 million, or 1.3% over this year's appropriation. It supports research in the natural and physical sciences, particularly "where frontiers of biology, chemistry, physics, engineering, and computing converge." FASEB recommends a 15% increase in the Office of Science budget, to begin on a path that would double the Office's budget within five years. www.aaup.org /govrel/fedbudget/newsres.htm   (715 words)

The Australian: Call for right to pick sex of babies [August 18, 2005] The Blair Government decided to reopen the debate after a report from the House of Commons Science and Technology Committee in March called the ban "groundless". Last year the Australian Health Ethics Committee prohibited the use of IVF technology to allow parents with several children of the same sex to select an embryo of the opposite sex. The review in Britain will also consider greater regulation of sales of sperm and eggs and the requirement for IVF clinics to consider the welfare of the child, including its need for a father. www.theaustralian.news.com.au /common/story_page/0,5744,16298878%255E2702,00.html   (4758 words)

BBC NEWS Science/Nature Call for freely available science Current models for publishing science are "unsatisfactory", according to a report issued by the House of Commons' Science and Technology Committee.
