To ask the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, how much of her Department’s funding allocated in the Spending Review 2015 will be for research and development expenditure up to 2020.

Andrea Leadsom

The Spending Review 2015 set out settlements for departments and showed how the government will deliver on its priorities, eliminate the deficit, and deliver security and opportunity for working people.

For the Department of Energy and Climate Change this means doubling DECC’s innovation programme to £505 million over 5 years, which will strengthen the future security of supply, reduce the costs of decarbonisation and boost industrial and research capabilities.

Final decisions on internal departmental funding allocations for future years, including for other research and development, have not yet been made.

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, how much of his Department’s funding allocated in the Spending Review 2015 will be for research and development expenditure up to 2020.

Mr David Lidington

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not have a dedicated research and development fund. Research to inform policy is conducted by FCO Research Analysts and by individual Directorates and overseas Posts, and funded from devolved budgets. It is therefore not possible to identify how much of the FCO’s allocated funding will be spent on these activities over the Spending Review 2015 period.

To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, how much of her Department’s funding allocated in the Spending Review 2015 will be for research and development expenditure up to 2020.

Mr Nick Hurd

DFID is a leader in funding high-quality high-impact development research, providing technologies and rigorous evidence to tackle critical development challenges – from new treatments for children with malaria to what approaches work to prevent violence against women. DFID’s funding for research and development expenditure up to 2020 will be determined through the Department’s internal resource allocation process. Decisions will be based on an analysis of critical development challenges, key evidence and technology gaps, and DFID’s areas of comparative advantage as a research funder. We committed in our manifesto to lead a major new global programme to accelerate the development of vaccines and drugs to eliminate the world’s deadliest infectious diseases, and in November announced the Ross Fund which will deliver on this commitment.
