I got interested in this question.
There are quite a few listed in the Lords who have "an interest in science or technology but it is a little late by the time it reaches them and governments with 80 seat majorities tell them to go jump. What constitutes "an interest" might be a fondness for Star Trek, I don't know, but there are certainly quite a few bona fide people in there.
In the Commons, for a while it was an apocryphal running joke that they had one MP with a science degree. That was never true.
However, if we look at the Science and Technology Committee, we find the following:
Greg Clarke
Economics
Aaron Bell
PPE
Dawn Butler
No degree?
Chris Clarkson
Law
Katherine Fetcher
BIOLOGY
Andrew Griffith
Law
Darren Jones
HUMAN BIOSCIENCE
Mark Logan
Masters from LSE
Catherine Monaghan
LASER PHYSICS AND OPTOELECTRONICS
Graham Stringer
CHEMISTRY
Zarah Sultana
International Relations and Economics
So, on the committee that scrutinises science and technology policies comprising 11 members, they only manage to populate it with 4 MPs (of 650) with the expertise of a sciencey background.
If you look through the Lords committee you'll notice the political appointees are often clueless - such as Johnson's appointment of a pretty blonde with a degree in music.
Cross bench life peers and some hereditary on the other hand bring real expertise by and large.
Once more the obvious answer is staring us in the face that democracy is a shit show and we would be better off governed by experts and the actual elite - not fakes like Johnson and co.
