To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the press release published 14 December 2022 on global science partnership with Japan, whether that announcement is part of the Dame Barbara Windsor Dementia Mission.
The press release announced the launch of the first phase of the new International Science Partnership Fund (ISPF), underpinned by £119m of funding. This is non-ODA funding for R&D-eligible activity, supporting our ambition to spend £20 billion on R&D per annum by 2024/25. The specific collaboration with Japan on neuroscience, neurodegenerative diseases and dementia is also non-ODA funding for R&D-eligible activity. Relevant funding will count towards the overall spend on dementia research.

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what assessment he has made of the impact of the freezing of tuition fees for domestic students on the funding available from universities for scientific research.
University research is funded by government via a variety of funding sources. Universities also cross subsidise research activity, including from international student fee income. Government monitors the impact of financial pressures on university research. Universities in England receive Quality Related Research Funding which underpins research and which increased by 10.4% to £1,974 million in 2022-23 from 2021-22.
Government has frozen maximum tuition fees for seven years up to and including the 2024/25 academic year. As well as reducing debt levels for students, the fee freeze will help to ensure that our higher education system remains sustainable while also promoting greater efficiency amongst providers.

I thank the Chancellor for his statement.
Here we are, the end of 2022. Three Prime Ministers, four Chancellors and four Budgets later, where do we find ourselves? In a worse place than we started the year, with inflation spiralling, growth plunging and living standards falling. Britain is a great country...
