Over 200 delegates attendedthe RSC's Parliamentary Links Day in the Attlee Suite, Portcullis House, London

In June, over 200 delegates attended the RSC's Parliamentary Links Day in the Attlee Suite, Portcullis House, London. The event was entitled Science and the New Parliament and members of both Houses of Parliament, the Campaign for Science and Engineering and scientific organisations including the Institute of Chemical Engineers, Royal Society and Institute of Physics took part in the event. 

The annual day is the largest science event of its kind in the Parliamentary calendar and on this occasion was opened by the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Rt Hon John Bercow MP, who greeted attendees by suggesting that 'a basic understanding of science is necessary for a rounded personality.'
