In addition we have created a more certain environment to drive increased investment in R&amp;D, through a £1.95billion Government commitment over 13 years to 2026, matched by industry, to fund new R&amp;D projects.</p><p>But we are not complacent and will continue to work with industry through the AGP to retain the UK's position as a leading aerospace nation.</p> answering member constituency Watford answering member printed Richard Harrington question first answered 18/09/2017 09:47:11 answering member 4068 label Biography information for Lord Harrington of Watford
