Cultivating capital.

Cultivating Capital (1994) Is Britain's biotechnology industry unnecessarily hampered by government regulations that require scientists to submit prior notification for every stage of their projects? Industry representatives air their views while Michael Heseltine states the case for the government. Lord Soulsby (Science and Technology Select Committee) warns of an exodus of scientists to the U.S. or Japan. Finance is another major problem; Britain's biotechnology industry is still new enough to be regarded as a risky investment, but without funding how can it achieve success? The reporter is David Strahan.
