The ONS figures provide the current best estimate of R&amp;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.</p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 28/03/2023 15:10:28 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
