More context:

> Elizabeth Louise Kendall (born 11 June 1971)[1] is a British politician who has served as Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology > [sic] graduating with first class honours in history in 1993 > [sic] after graduating from Cambridge, worked at the Institute for Public Policy Research (charity)

tl;dr never worked in the private sector, and utterly unqualified to make judgements on technology.

So of course she's the science minister.

This is what UK parliament is full of, ill qualified, political lifers.

What a depressing time to live in the UK.
