I am very interested in the development of science and technology with particular reference to new discoveries in space and the programme for space exploration. I was delighted therefore that our Labour Government has announced a new "UK SPACE AGENCY" to be based at Harwell in Oxfordshire.

Investment will total £40million initially and Government will support Britain's growing space sector. This industry is expected to create 100,000 jobs in the next 20 years. Currently, our space industry is worth £6 billion per year and can help achieve sustainable growth in new industries for the future. We have potential development sites for these industries in Kidderminster and Stourport. It's the future - lets try to get Wyre Forest involved!
