Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether the Prime Minister will chair the National Science and Technology Council; and for what reason that group is no longer a Cabinet subcommittee.
In October 2022, the National Science and Technology Council was established as an inter-ministerial group responsible for delivering an ambitious UK science and technology strategy and to consider key science and technology issues.
The Cabinet Committee list and membership is decided by the Prime Minister.
GOV.UK is updated regularly with the list of Cabinet Committees, their terms of reference, and membership.
