These include our competitive tax system and business environment – the government also increased the rate of business R&amp;D tax credits, providing £2.45bn of relief to 21,000 business in 2014-15 – and our ongoing commitment to improving the nations skills, including in STEM subjects.</p><p>Information on international spending is published regularly by the OECD and the European Commission is available online. The government’s increased spending signals that the UK remains committed to being at the forefront of global science, research and innovation.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss grouped question UIN 6593 6731 question first answered 06/09/2017 13:37:48 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
