answer text <p>The 2023 <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/cyber-security-breaches-survey-2023" target="_blank">Cyber Security Breaches Survey</a> shows 32% of small businesses and 31% of micro businesses identified having suffered a cyber breach or attack in the past 12 months. This is a decline on 2022, however we believe this may be due to smaller businesses deprioritising cyber security and being less likely to identify breaches and attacks, rather than a reduction in the threat.</p><p>Our strategy, working with other relevant Departments and Agencies, is therefore to make it as easy as possible for SMEs to be secure.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Department of Science, Innovation and Technology continues to engage with the Office for National Statistics(ONS) on the development of the business enterprise research and development statistics, as they update and improve their data collection methodologies. The Office for National Statistics is an independent body, and this update is part of a wider programme of work to improve economic statistics and data capture.</p><p>In 2023 the Office for National Statistics increased the number of businesses sampled 10-fold, increasing from around 4,000 to around 40,000. This should increase the level of confidence around the granular breakdowns of business enterprise expenditure on research and development and enable the ONS to consider re-instating the level of granularity published in the next release.</p> more like this

answer text <p>The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is an independent body. The recent release of the business enterprise research and development (BERD) statistics was part of an ongoing initiative to enhance economic statistics and data collection, which is still underway. This publication provided the most reliable assessment of R&amp;D spending at the UK level, verified against available data. Given the importance of accurate disaggregated figures, the Government will continue to liaise with ONS as they compile BERD statistics in future releases, including more detailed information on particular products and sectors.</p> more like this
