The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what steps her Department is taking to monitor delivery of partnerships under the Tech Prosperity Deal.

Answered by Kanishka Narayan

As set out in the UK-US Tech Prosperity Deal’s public MoU, the UK and US intend to establish and convene a Ministerial-Level Working Group within six months of the MoU becoming operative, which will serve as a strategic forum to guide bilateral cooperation, set priorities and oversee the implementation of joint initiatives agreed. The UK and US will then meet annually to continue to assess progress and determine the scope and future of collaborative programmes.
