answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/07/2015 answer text <p>The House of Commons Commission and the House of Lords House Committee asked for the independent appraisal of options for restoring and renewing the Palace of Westminster that was published on 18 June. The IOA does not test value for money as such, because it is not yet possible to quantify the benefits of the different options in cash terms. Instead it recommends that value for money should be tested in the course of drawing up a business case in the next phase. The Commission expects value for money to be central to the work of the Joint Committee that is to be set up to take this matter forward.</p> answering member constituency Mole Valley answering member printed Sir Paul Beresford question first answered 09/07/2015 09:36:36 answering member 103 label Biography information for Sir Paul Beresford

A UK Open Access Co-ordination Group was set up to inform and guide implementation of the changes, including publishers, funders, and other key interests.</p><p> </p><p>The research councils recognise access to underlying research data complements open access to research publications. RCUK recently published further guidance on best practice in the management of research data which applies to MRC funded research in universities, research organisations and the MRC’s own research units and institutes. The Government welcomes the production of a Concordat on Open Data agreed across the research community, which will be published this summer.</p><p> </p><p>Responsibility for managing technologies and other intellectual property resulting from MRC investments rests with the organisation that generates them. It is the responsibility of the research organisation, and all engaged in the research, to make every reasonable effort to ensure that the intellectual assets obtained in the course of the research are used to the benefit of society and the economy.</p> answering member constituency Orpington answering member printed Joseph Johnson question first answered 10/07/2015 12:29:08 answering member 4039 label Biography information for Lord Johnson of Marylebone
