	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/03/2024 answer text <p>In 2017, the Government committed to a target of increasing UK economy-wide investment in R&amp;D to 2.4% of GDP by 2027, and 3% in the longer-term.</p><p> </p><p>Last year, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) updated its methodology for capturing R&amp;D performed in small businesses and higher education institutions throughout the UK. This has not yet been incorporated into calculations of GDP, and so an official estimate of UK R&amp;D expenditure as a proportion of GDP under the new methodology is not yet available. However, on this revised basis, DSIT estimates R&amp;D investment would have been between 2.8% and 2.9% of GDP for 2021. Government remains committed to public R&amp;D expenditure reaching £20bn for 24/25, a record level.</p> answering member constituency Arundel and South Downs answering member printed Andrew Griffith question first answered 06/03/2024 10:49:01 answering member 4874 label Biography information for Andrew Griffith
