Article Abstract:

The UK government has declined to set up a humanities research council. Some of this work is done by the British Academy, which has 21.7 million pounds sterling to give towards research. Scientific research receives 50 times as much government support. Observers feel that as the humanities cannot earn money by producing technological innovation they should receive more in government support.
