Its most recent release on business enterprise research and development (BERD) was part of an on-going programme of work to improve economic statistics and data capture. The ONS figures provided the best estimate of R&amp;D expenditure at the total UK level which had been validated against other available data. However, there was less data for validation and increased uncertainty in the estimates below the total BERD figures. The Government looks forward to further improvements from the ONS in how the statistics are compiled in future releases, including granular data on products and sectors.</p> answering member constituency Mid Norfolk answering member printed George Freeman question first answered 24/10/2023 13:38:23 answering member 4020 label Biography information for George Freeman
