PM offers support for Ulverston
I’m very glad to have received a letter from the PM in response to my request for the Government’s assistance in supporting a meaningful legacy from GSK for the community and assisting Lakes BioScience in providing security for jobs and skills in the local area.
The PM outlines a few key points in his letter:
He is ‘keen to support the community in continuing its fine tradition in the UK’s excellent life sciences industry’
He will explore ways that the government can help to get Lakes BioScience off the ground
He has commissioned the Office for Life Sciences, Vaccines Taskforce, and Theraputics Taskforce to consider how to support Lakes BioScience in this context.
I look forward to meeting with GSK and the Vaccines Minister on Thursday to progress this and to sit down with the PM soon following his kind offer of a meeting at Prime Minister’s Questions.
