UK Defence Innovation: Scotland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much of the UK Defence Innovation fund will be spent on Scottish based companies.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The exact amount of funding to be awarded to Scottish based companies by UK Defence Innovation (UKDI) cannot be determined as UKDI is yet to be launched. Historically, Scottish based companies have been significant contributors to defence innovation. We expect this trend to continue with the establishment of UKDI, which aims to foster economic growth throughout the UK as a core objective.
