Universities and Science Minister David Willetts has laid an Order in Parliament to abolish the National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) as a non-departmental public body (NDPB) following the Government’s announcement in October 2010 of its proposal to reconstitute NESTA as a private sector charity with a separate charitable trust to hold the National Lottery endowment.
The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) is an executive non-departmental public body (NDPB). NESTA’s remit is to support and promote talent, innovation and creativity in the fields of science, technology and the arts.
