web-site (pm.gov.uk).

"I wish the Government to review its recent decision outlined below:
The British Government has slashed the funding of scientific Research
Councils by £68 million. The Research Councils most affected by this
include the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, which has
been hit by a £29 million reduction in funding, and the Medical Research
Council, which is seeing a £10.7 million reduction in funding. The response
of the BBSRC biological research council announces that the council will
have to cut 20 new grants and reduce expenditure on new equipment."
