@BSHSNews @BL_OralHistory @BRE_Group @QinetiQ @dstlmod @DefenceHQ There’s a couple of useful @POST_UK publications from the early 1990s that detail how #PSREs were under constant review 1. Science and Technology Agencies, 1993 https://t.co/T8C1HmHgzU 2. @POST_UK note 53 Public Sector Research Establishments, 1994 https://t.co/QQI5g9I2tQ

@EmmeLedgerwood @BL_OralHistory @BRE_Group @QinetiQ @dstlmod @DefenceHQ 9/12 The defence #PSREs operated as an agency 1991-2001 until their activities were split between the private @QinetiQ and public @dstlmod. 1990s = amalgamations, rationalisations and relocations, plus schemes to promote culture change. 🗨️ https://t.co/fQWc2HxItA #BSHSGlobalHist

@EmmeLedgerwood @BL_OralHistory @BRE_Group @QinetiQ @dstlmod @DefenceHQ 6/12 The goal of public accountability saw project management become the preferred method by which #PSREs kept track of their scientific research programmes, but staff were not so sure about its value. 🗨️ https://t.co/NWIYJPts4C & 🗨️ https://t.co/EIFU9nCkBj #BSHSGlobalHist

@EmmeLedgerwood @BL_OralHistory @BRE_Group @QinetiQ @dstlmod @DefenceHQ 4/12 Some scientists advised policymakers in Whitehall or became technical experts in ‘intelligent’ equipment procurement. In the #PSREs work could mean pure science, applied research or tests and trials; many describe the job as fun. 🗨️ https://t.co/1Yak8EdGkb. #BSHSGlobalHist

@EmmeLedgerwood @BL_OralHistory 2/12 My interviewees worked at the public sector research establishments #PSREs that became @BRE_Group, @QinetiQ and @dstlmod. They were part of the scientific civil service that many entrants saw as offering a secure and steady career. 🗨️ https://t.co/PfioOE1tmj. #BSHSGlobalHist
