UK Tech Advocates Alarmed by Burnham Plan to Scrap Technology Department The proposal to abolish the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology has sent shockwaves through the UK tech community.
Experts warn that scrapping the department would weaken Britain's ability to compete in the global tech landscape and undermine its foundation in science and innovation.
Critics argue that handing over science and technology policy to a more powerful business department would dilute the focus on innovation, making Britain's tech industry vulnerable to American dominance.
