Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, how much funding her Department has provided to research projects based in (a) St Helens North constituency, (b) the North West and (c) the UK in the last 12 months.

Answer

In the 12 months leading to the start of January 2024, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) awarded:

  • None to organisations located in St Helens North constituency during this period;
  • £264m to organisations performing research projects in the North West of England

These figures include a range of investments made via UKRI’s Research Councils and Innovate UK, but the figure excludes formula-based block grants deployed through universities which will also have gone to research projects in this region.
