I hold the responsibility for DFID’s Science and Research. The DFID Chief Scientific Adviser has met with me three times during the period of 1 September – 30 November 2018. In addition, DFID’s Chief Scientific Adviser has also met with my colleague the Right Hon. the Lord Bates during this period.

The Chief Scientific Adviser has not met with the Secretary of State during the period of September - November 2018. The Chief Scientific Adviser continues to provide all Ministers with regular written submissions and briefings on DFID science and research activities.
