Priority policy: engineering and technology should be placed at the centre of the coalition government's policy-making process

摘要

This year's general election was full of surprises and I expect will be remembered for many years to come But what does a coalition government mean for professional bodies such as the IET? Clearly, the government is faced with numerous difficult decisions, many of which should be made in consultation with the engineering and technology community, We have a huge amount of value to add to policy-making when it comes to issues such as energy, transport and communications, to name only three This is why the IET is preparing to roll out activities that place engineering at the centre of policy-making.
