PM’s £200m invention bill

BORIS Johnson will spend £ 200mil lion helping scientists market their inventions – to stop other countries cashing in first.

“We have a proud history of discovery from penicillin to sequencing the human genome, but too often we let another country commercialise it,” he will tell today’s Tory conference in Manchester.

The PM’s life sciences fund aims for £400million private investment too.

Mental Health minister Nadine Dorries will announce another 1,000 staff for specialist services.
