National officially release science policy

NEW ZEALAND HERALD: National's research, science and technology policy, issued yesterday, confirms the party would scrap Labour's Fast Forward Fund and reduce research and development tax credits.

Labour made the policy public on September 9, saying it was leaked to it.

But National says Labour found a batch of policies left in a public place.

National leader John Key said that a government led by him would set up a research centre aimed at reducing farm-produced greenhouse gas emissions.

The policy also includes measures to streamline funding and application processes.
