Abstract
The Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST) was set up in 1989 to provide members of both Houses of Parliament with objective information on scientific and technological issues. In this paper, the concept of ‘technology assessment’ is explained, together with details of POST's formation and mode of working. Finally, two recent papers from POST on The Relationships between Defence and Civil Science and Technology, and on High‐performance Computing, will be briefly discussed.
