"We are pleased that STFC has provided a clear statement about its funding priorities going forward.

"While it is evident that there will be substantial cuts, this statement at least now gives some reassurance to those involved in priority programmes.

"Nonetheless, the loss of good science that will result from this announcement is highly regrettable.

"At a time when the United States is investing heavily, we believe British withdrawal from international collaborations and proposed cuts to fellowship and PhD funding will prove extremely damaging.

"The funding of international subscriptions and major domestic research facilities clearly needs to be rethought."
