Table 8 of the ONS BERD release included figures for R&D performed by businesses by Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) division. This included the following estimates:
| 2018 | 2019 | 2020 | 2021 |
Total UK business R&D | £40,993m | £42,184m | £43,995m | £46,929m |
Electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply | £78m | £164m | £102m | £353m |
The new ONS BERD data shows different SIC divisions with different changes within an overall increase in total R&D expenditure. The ONS figures provide the current best estimate of R&D expenditure at the total UK level which have been validated against other available data. However, there is less data for validation and increased uncertainty in the estimates below the total BERD figures. The Government looks forward to further improvements from the ONS in how the BERD statistics are compiled in future releases.

After the crisis is over, will he please hop on board one of its steam trains when he is next in Llangollen?

That this House notes that the Pressure Equipment Directive 97/23/EC will become mandatory from 30th May; believes that this directive was never intended to target the manufacture of model steam engines which as a sector has an exemplary record of protecting the public against pressure vessel failure; notes, however, that the directive has brought the model steam engines under its remit and, it is estimated, will increase costs between 100 per cent. and 400 per cent. depending on boiler size, rendering boilers unsaleable and companies unviable, resulting on considerable loss of employment as well as a loss of enjoyment to the estimated 150,000 UK citizens involved in model engineering; and therefore urges the Government to exempt professional copper boiler makers from these punitive and inappropriate regulations and to come to some alternative agreement that would guarantee public safety while securing a future for an industry with a worldwide reputation for excellence.
