To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, if he will make an assessment of AI growth opportunities at Daresbury Science Park.

Answered by Feryal Clark

We are committed to working in partnership with regional and local authorities on AI Growth Zones. The selection process will open in spring 2025, and we welcome interest from areas with strong access to power infrastructure and economic potential. AIGZs will be closely aligned with wider government initiatives, including Local Growth Plans, to ensure they deliver substantial regional and national benefits.
