British Antarctic Survey: Finance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how much funding his Department allocated to the British Antarctic Survey in the 2024-25 financial year.
Answered by Feryal Clark
The British Antarctic Survey’s current allocation from UK Research and Innovation’s Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) is £116 million for 2024/25.
DSIT's R&D budget is rising to £13.9 billion for the 2025/26 financial year. The Department will announce further details on the allocation of the budget in 2025/26 in due course. Last July, the Chancellor launched a multi-year spending review, which will conclude in June 2025, and will allow government to set out its spending plans for science and technology investment over the longer-term.
