To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether the £4.75m contribution from the Office of Life Sciences for phase two of the Sequence ME & Long Covid study for this project will be supplemented by funding from MRC.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether the £4.75m contribution from the Office of Life Sciences for phase two of the Sequence ME & Long Covid study for this project will be supplemented by funding from MRC.
There are no plans for MRC to provide further funding to the study.
To ask His Majesty's Government whether the UK National Screening Committee, before reaching its recommendation on population screening for cardiac conditions associated with sudden cardiac death in young people, will consider the research published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in February based on the screening of...

The public consultation conducted on this issue by the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) closed on 31 August, and the UK NSC is currently reviewing all contributions to that consultation, alongside the available scientific evidence. The research referred to by the Noble Lord published on 24 February falls outside the search dates for the evidence map. However, the consultation submissions included reference to the study. As such it will be carefully reviewed and considered as part of the post-consultation analysis before the UK NSC makes a formal screening recommendation.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, with reference to The Neurodivergence Task and Finish Group's report on children and young people, published on 23 February 2026, whether she will commission research on the experiences, retention and contribution of neurodivergent members of the school workforce.

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department has plans to undertake further research into the potential health impacts of long-term exposure among regular users of 3G pitches.

No such assessment has been made, and none is planned at this time. But we take any evidence of public health problems seriously, and continue to monitor the concerns that have been raised on this issue.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, if he will consider the potential merits of increasing funding for life sciences research to approximately £40m per year to maintain spending levels in real terms and support the UK's cancer research base.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, if he will consider the potential merits of increasing funding for life sciences research to approximately £40m per year to maintain spending levels in real terms and support the UK's cancer research base.
The government does not ringfence funding for cancer research. The overall Research & Development (R&D) budget is set at Government Spending Reviews.
The Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade invests approximately £200 million annually in cancer research via UK Research and Innovation. The Department of Health and Social Care spent £141.6 million in 2024/25 via the National Institute for Health and Care Research.
The Life Sciences Sector Plan sets out measures to strengthen the UK's life sciences ecosystem and enable world-class R&D. This includes £42.8 million for the Office for Life Sciences' Cancer Healthcare Goals Programme to support development of cancer diagnostics and therapies.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether his Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the planned cessation of STFC funding for e-MERLIN and Jodrell Bank scientific operations by April 2028 on the number of highly skilled jobs, technical expertise, and...

Jodrell Bank Observatory is not closing and remains an important UK science asset. UK Research and Innovation funds specific programmes, including the e-MERLIN radio telescope network, rather than the Observatory site itself. Current e-MERLIN funding remains in place until 31 March 2028. The prioritisation exercise considered scientific excellence, long-term impact, strategic importance, value for money and preservation of capabilities. The Government recognises the importance of highly skilled technical and scientific expertise and STFC will be protecting PPAN (Particle Physics, Astronomy and Nuclear Physics) grant postdoctoral funding maintained at 2025/26 levels, alongside PhD studentships and fellowships.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what comparative cost-benefit analyses were conducted between maintaining domestic scientific infrastructure, such as the e-MERLIN array, and funding international subscriptions; and whether steps were taken during the prioritisation process to measure short-term inflation against long-term scientific capability changes.

UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) undertook a structured assessment of different funding options across STFC's portfolio. This considered scientific excellence, long-term research impact, strategic importance to the UK, international leadership, value for money and the preservation of capabilities that would be difficult or impossible to recreate if lost. The prioritisation process considered a range of funding scenarios and the implications of increasing operational costs, including inflation and foreign exchange pressures. Major international subscriptions continue to be protected, while decisions across the wider portfolio were taken following extensive engagement with the research community.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, how his department is ensuring UK research is protected from increases in subscription fees to international facilities and resources.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, how his department is ensuring UK research is protected from increases in subscription fees to international facilities and resources.
The Department works with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) to manage cost pressures on international research facilities and resources through rigorous scrutiny of costs, risks, and value for money. The UK uses its role in international governing bodies to press for cost containment and operational efficiencies, helping to control growth in set fees. UKRI manages foreign exchange risks through hedging, in line with HM Treasury policy, reducing short-term volatility, but not eliminating longer-term currency and economic pressures.

The Government recognises the particular challenges that some rural and off-gas-grid households face in decarbonising their homes. Through the Warm Homes Plan, we will put communities at the centre of delivery, devolving funding so regional and local government accelerate home and building upgrades according to their needs.
For off-grid homes in particular, the Government recently increased the grant amount available for heat pump installations through the Boiler Upgrade Scheme to £9,000 for homes heated by oil or LPG, in direct response to the situation in the Middle East.
It’s worth noting that heat pumps work well across different property types and there is already strong uptake in rural areas, with 50% of grants awarded to rural properties and 39% to homes off the gas grid.
The Government does however recognise the particular challenges, and we are currently undertaking specific research to improve understanding of the costs and practicalities of decarbonising more complex housing archetypes. Results will be available soon and will help inform future policy decisions.

ARIA has autonomy over its funding decisions. ARIA’s Programme Directors are encouraged to monitor, course-correct, and terminate projects where redeploying funding would be most impactful.
The £59 million budget for ARIA’s Safeguarded AI programme is fully committed. Rather than launching a new Phase 2 call under Technical Area 3, ARIA redeployed funds to support project extensions for teams funded in Phase 1 who were demonstrating exceptional progress.
Following this change, ARIA refined the programme’s success measures to focus on progress towards real-world application. Emerging capabilities will be evaluated via a systematic, well-controlled benchmark suite, and their performance in demonstrations and field trials.

I welcome the new Minister to his new place. Despite the Government’s significant funding increases to science generally, the Science and Technology Facilities Council is facing significant cost pressures. I met recently with some STFC-funded former colleagues who fear an exodus of professional talent from the UK because of those...
