Genetically Modified Organism (GMO) research is funded by the Government through a number of channels, including the Research Councils and Innovate UK.<\/p>
<\/p>
The Research Councils welcome applications supporting any aspect of their research portfolio. Applications are subject to peer review and judged in open competition, with awards made on the basis of the scientific quality of the proposals made. Research proposals in all areas, including GMO research, compete for funding available from the Research Councils.<\/p>
<\/p>
Innovate UK supports industry-led translational research in this field on a project by project basis. All project applications are independently assessed with only the most high quality and innovative proposals securing funding. Potential future investments in the translation and development of GMO technologies will be made on this basis.<\/p>

This is estimated to benefit up to 500,000 businesses who, as a result, can employ four people full time on the current NLW and pay no National Insurance Contributions. The increase in the allowance is of greatest benefit to small businesses. We are also extending Small Business Rate Relief meaning 600,000 small businesses will pay no rates at all.<\/p> In addition, the cut in corporation tax from 20% to 17% by the end of the Parliament
