UNIVERSITIES and colleges across the region are to get a share of a £1 billion Government investment. The money will be spent on scientific research such as finding new cancer drugs and understanding the environment. The University of Central Lancashire, Liverpool University and the Royal Northern College of Music are all set to benefit.
Science Minister Lord Sainsbury says it is up to the universities themselves to decide how the money will be spent.
