We believe this has been successful in supporting industry. Since 2010, the UK aerospace industry has seen turnover grow from £23.7billion to £32billion; exports have increased from £18billion to £30billion; direct jobs have grown from 110,000 to 120,000, with indirect jobs up from 148,000 to 161,000; and, between 2010 and 2016, productivity growth in the sector was over five times more than in the economy as a whole. 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
