Article Abstract:

An analysis of the history and relationship between David King, chief scientific adviser to the prime minister of the United Kingdom and head of the government's Office of Science and Technology, and Ian Gibson, Labour MP for Norwich North and chairman of the House of Commons select committee for science and technology, and their fight for the future of British science. King and Gibson have an history dating back to the early 1970s, when they were rival trade union activists, and now face each other again, fighting for British science from different positions.
