Secrecy for high-risk tech research agency Aria17 Feb 2021 16:44
Secrecy, exempt from FOI laws. So no chance of corruption? No chance of members of the Chumocracy making a few quid?
"Ministers will announce plans tomorrow for an £800 million scientific research agency legally entitled to invest in projects that are likely to fail and which will be exempted from freedom of information laws.
New legislation will found the Advanced Research and Invention Agency, or Aria, and allow it to operate as independently as possible by investing in “high-risk, high-reward” projects."
