Scope and content
In 1992 William Waldegrave MP, Minister for Public Service and Science, announced a White Paper on Science and Technology. One of the issues identified in the consultation process was the participation of women in these areas. In response the Committee on Women in Science, Engineering and Technology was established in 1993. Its report, The Rising Tide, was published the following year.
