So when exactly is work going to start again on the research facility at Oxford University? For us at RDS the wait is frustrating enough.  For the researchers, students and other staff at Oxford University, it must seem interminable. 

We should be proud of the international quality of research carried out at our universities in the UK. Oxford and Cambridge have recently risen to third and fourth in the rankings of international research quality.  However, Cambridge University was forced to shelve plans for its neuroscience centre last year, partly as a result of animal rights extremism. 

The empty shell of the uncompleted building at Oxford stands as an international symbol of the government commitment to defeating animal rights extremism.  We cannot to lose this one.  RDS is totally supportive of the University in its plans to get building work restarted.
