Just before Easter, I had the pleasure of welcoming Dr Deep Banerjee from Plymouth Marine Laboratory to Parliament.

Deep is a modelling scientist working to understand the impact of climate change on the oceans. He spent two days with me on a Royal Society scheme to learn how scientists can contribute to policymaking in Westminster.

I want to thank Dr Banerjee and our other brilliant scientists in Plymouth for the critical role they play in driving our understanding of the world and supporting decision-making at the highest levels.
