6 Acknowledgements The research on which this book is based was financed from a number of sources: the Central Electricity Generating Board, the Department of Industry, the Engineering Industry Training Board, the Leverhulme Trust, the National Economic Development Office, the Science Research Council and the Social Science Research Council. We are grateful for the encouragement given to us to write the book by John Ashworth of the Central Policy Review Staff. The Science Policy Research Unit has benefited from outside contributions in the form of a specific chapter written by Jonathan Aylen of Salford University. At the same time, all authors benefited greatly from critical comments and suggestions by outside readers of early drafts including members of the staff of CPRS, and David Stout and his colleagues at the National Economic Development Office. We owe a particular debt to Daniel Jones, of the Sussex European Research Centre, who gave generously of his time and his ideas in commenting on other people's work; and to George Ray of the National Institute for Economic and Social Research, who made systematic and helpful comments on drafts of each of the chapters. Nevertheless, the authors take full responsibility for the book's contents. Neither its analysis nor its conclusions are those of the UK Government or any other body. The authors have put up patiently and gracefully with continuing editorial demands for change, and for greater clarity and brevity. A considerable burden has also fallen on to the Unit's secretarial staff, with constant typing, retyping and revision of the various chapters; we are therefore grateful to Vicky Clay, Rosemary Gee, Janet Grundy, Charlotte Huggett, Maureen Kelly, Marjorie Lee, Milena Mackay, Hazel Robards and Sian Thomas. We are also grateful to Philippa Shepherd who did the copy-editing, and to Vivian Johnson who compiled the index. Finally, we thank Christopher Freeman, Director of the Unit, who originally had the idea to prepare the book, and has given constant support to its preparation throughout; and Austen Albu who, after his retirement from politics, has not only contributed two chapters to this book, but has
7 viii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS generously contributed his insights on a subject that - throughout his industrial and political career - he has always believed to be of major importance.
