(Address to The R&D Management Conference)

The topic of this conference, "the leveraging of research and technology", is of great interest to this Government.

Every now and then, politics gives you a treat to keep you going.

I got one last week, when I went to Antarctica. It's an incredible place, not many people get to go there and I feel really, really lucky to have made it.

It is a pleasure to have been invited “back home” to give my first extended speech in the Research, Science and Technology portfolio.

Good evening ladies and gentlemen. I am delighted to be here. Politicians always say that it’s a pleasure to be invited. Sometimes we mean it. This is one such time. It’s great to be alongside the topic of IT investment.
