To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment she has made of the adequacy of levels of UK Research and Innovation funding allocated to Wales.

Answered by James Murray

This Government is investing in Wales to help create jobs and drive economic growth. UKRI has recently launched the Local Innovation Partnerships Fund (LIPF) - a new programme that will empower innovation leadership through local ‘triple helix’ partnerships between civic institutions, business and universities, delivering impact, at scale.
