Response to the Autumn Budget and Spending Review

“Professor Jon Keating, spokesman for the Protect Pure Maths Campaign, said: “The failure to confirm extra funding for mathematics in the Budget is a staggering oversight for a government that has previously suggested it recognises the importance of maths to the UK economy and society. Something further evidenced today with the setting up of the Multiply scheme to improve adult numeracy."


“The government deserves praise for its previous announcement of £300 million in extra support for the mathematical sciences. But it is gravely concerning that there was no mention of following through on that in this latest spending round.”
