Letter: Tory defence danger

February 2, 2001

The Conservative Party's proposal to privatise British universities would damage the country's economy and defence ("Tories' bold ideas need to show some substance", THES, January 26).

Market forces are likely to lead to a reduction in the number of science and technology courses offered by British universities.

Science and technology are important for the nation's economy and vital for its defence.
