The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, which (a) Department and (b) Minister have lead responsibility for the implementation of the UK–US Technology Prosperity Deal; and what (i) structures and (ii) processes are in place to coordinate implementation across Government.
Answered by Kanishka Narayan
The departments responsible for the implementation of the UK-US Technology Prosperity Deal are the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. Their Secretaries of State have lead responsibility for the implementation of this deal.
Both departments work closely together, across government and with delivery partners to implement the deal. They also work closely with US colleagues to drive progress under the deal, including towards convening a Ministerial-Level working group as set out in the MoU.
