	answer	answer answer text <p>The National Academies, including the British Academy, are an integral part of the UK’s R&amp;D landscape and provide an important contribution to securing the UK’s status as a global science superpower. In 2018 a grant of £14m was provided to the British Academy to support the extension of the lease on their premises. This also enabled a private donation of £10m, which was conditional on the capital investment. The funding secured the Academy’s long-term future in Carlton House Terrace, close to the other National Academies, providing an intellectual and cultural hub of world-leading knowledge and expertise. In line with usual practice, the government does not publish detailed commercial terms and conditions of grant agreements with individual organisations.</p> question first answered 21/09/2021 13:34:20 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
