What steps his Department is taking to support innovation in the manufacturing of optics equipment.
Growing innovative manufacturing companies will be key to unlocking growth across the economy.
Optics has many applications across different sectors and we provide a range of support for firms specialising in it. For example, UKRI is funding over £116,000 to the University of Edinburgh and Optos PLC based in Dunfermline to develop technology for optical medical devices.
The National Physical Laboratory provides a comprehensive range of optical calibration and measurement services, supporting industry in the design and production of optical components.

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many UK scientists are working on (1) the James Webb Space Telescope, and (2) the Extremely Large Telescope European project under construction in Chile.
To ask Her Majesty's Government how many UK scientists are working on (1) the James Webb Space Telescope, and (2) the Extremely Large Telescope European project under construction in Chile.
The UK’s role in James Webb Space Telescope, leading the Mid-Infrared Instrument known as MIRI, involved scientists, engineers, researchers and technicians from 46 organisations across the UK – supported by approximately £20M investment from UK Space Agency and the Science and Technology Facilities Council. At its peak, the instrument’s development programme was staffed by 25-30 FTE (Full Time Equivalent) per year. Approximately 360 UK scientists will be working with JWST scientific data following its launch in November 2021, through privilege access programmes for the first mission data, and guest observer programmes. When factoring in post docs and PhD students, who will support this research, this figure can be expected to effectively double.
We expect that when operational 200-400 UK researchers will seek time on the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT) to support their science programmes. During the current construction phase a large proportion of UK scientists are working under commercial contract and we do not have access to staffing within those. When it starts operating in late-2020s, UK scientists will be able to use ELT to study the earliest evolution of stars and galaxies and to characterise and image other planets, possibly like our own.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health what assessment his Department has made of the potential use of analytical electron microscopy in studies of orphan diseases which may be a consequence of nanotoxicologies; and what representations his Department has received on the regulation of nanotoxicologies.

The Department has not made any assessment of the potential use of analytical electron microscopy in studies of orphan diseases which may be a consequence of nanotoxicologies.
The Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) believes that current European Union regulations for medicines and medical devices are sufficiently stringent and broad in scope to cover risks associated with nanotechnologies. The MHRA will keep nanotechnology developments under review and will work with the European Commission, European Medicines Agency and the European Medical Devices Expert Working Group to assess the relevant existing regulations with regard to nanotechnologies.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs if she will assess the feasibility of utilising electron microscopy in the evaluation of nanoparticles.

Electron microscopy is extensively used and provides a valuable tool in the characterisation and evaluation of nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used to characterise and measure nanoparticles for many years and they continue to be part of UK and EU research into nanomaterials. Standards are being developed for the use of TEM and SEM to look at carbon nanotubes and there is a working group in the international Standards Organisation's Nanotechnologies Committee which is developing a standard to measure primary particle size using electron microscopy.
