Semiconductors
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what plans he has to support the National Semiconductor Institute.
Answered by Feryal Clark
This government recognises the strategic importance of semiconductors as a critical technology for the future of the UK and a significant enabler of the government’s growth and clean energy missions. The Department recognises a number of challenges to growth of the UK semiconductor sector, including industry fragmentation and a lack of long-term innovation strategy. We are currently reviewing a range of options to address this and unlock growth in the sector, including the National Semiconductor Institute. We will announce further details in due course.
