Recommendation
In its response to this report, the government should set out its assessment of the impact of ODA cuts on international science collaboration, including on areas such as the International Science Partnership Framework. While recognising the pressures and trade- offs facing public finances, we urge the government to restore ODA funding for research and development across departments, given the clear strategic, diplomatic and scientific benefits of doing so. (Recommendation, Paragraph 20)
