Innovation: Business

Asked by Dame Chi OnwurahLabourDepartment for Science, Innovation and TechnologyTabled Answered 9 December 2024UIN 17805

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, which Minister is responsible for the interface between innovation and business to drive growth.

Answered by Feryal Clark

The Minister of State for Science, Research and Innovation is responsible for Innovation across the Missions, including the Growth Mission. However, a wide range of DSIT’s policy areas support businesses and contribute to innovation-led growth, and therefore all Ministers will have an interest. A full list of Ministerial responsibilities is at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/government-ministers-and-responsibilities.
