Finance (No. 2) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Steve Baker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 18 April 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance (No. 2) Bill.

My hon. Friend’s speech is an absolute treat because it is a much better version of the speech that I made on science and markets in the Vehicle Technology and Aviation Bill Committee on which we served together. Does he agree that one of the key spirits that we need to recapture from the 19th century, when we took science and innovation and turned them into big companies, is getting people who know how to do things, such as engineers, to become entrepreneurs—perhaps in the spirit of I. K. Brunel? In that way, those who know how to produce will also know how to invest and how to serve people in a commercial way.
