To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to collaborate with (a) water companies and (b) scientific experts on future investment in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances remediation for South Shields.
To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps her Department is taking to collaborate with (a) water companies and (b) scientific experts on future investment in per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances remediation for South Shields.
The Environment Agency (EA) has worked with water companies and their research body, UK Water Industry Research, on the Chemicals Investigation Programme (CIP) since 2010. CIP has conducted investigations into PFOS and PFOA, and the CIP3 phase has established their concentrations in sewage works, their catchments and the receiving waters. Based on this work targeted investigations will be conducted in the next phase of CIP, known as CIP4, none of which need to be carried out in South Shields.
In the UK REACH Work Programme for 2021-22, Defra asked the EA and Health and Safety Executive to examine the risks posed by PFAS and develop a 'Regulatory Management Options Analysis' (RMOA). Defra welcomed the RMOA recently published and is working with its partners to develop the recommendations for risk management measures, building on the commitment in the 25 Year Environment Plan to tackle chemicals of concern.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to their announcement on 14 June pledging £31 million to create a UK and international research and innovation ecosystem for responsible and trustworthy AI, what progress they have made in this area.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to their announcement on 14 June pledging £31 million to create a UK and international research and innovation ecosystem for responsible and trustworthy AI, what progress they have made in this area.
£31M is being invested into ‘RAI UK’ (Responsible AI UK), a consortium that is conducting and funding research into responsible AI, which launched in June of this year. RAI UK’s partners include the University of Southampton, University College London, King’s College London and the University of Cambridge and a range of government agencies, multilateral organisations and technology companies.
Their focus areas include: creating a responsible AI ecosystem; consolidating activities of a diverse set of organisations; funding research and innovation including tackling fundamental challenges; linking established research teams and accelerating existing research; developing ‘Responsible AI Skills’—cross-disciplinary skills beyond the technical; and policy and public engagement aspirations, including conducting public attitudes and expert surveys into AI risk.
Since their launch, RAI UK has awarded £1.5m to accelerate the impact of existing responsible AI research and has announced £1m of funding to develop international partnerships with world-leading organisations.

Fusion Futures is the UK’s alternative programme to Euratom R&T. The commitments will be funded from HM Treasury’s EU Programme ringfence which provides funding up to March 2028, subject to business cases. Further detail on the commercial arrangements for each commitment will be provided as the programme develops.
To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Brain Tumours, Pathway to a Cure – breaking down the barriers, published on 28 February 2023, what is the expected timescale to develop a strategy for adequately resourcing discovery, translational and clinical research into brain tumours as recommended by...

The Department of Health and Social Care welcomes the All-Party Parliamentary Group report, recommendations of which continue to be worked through with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, UK Research and Innovation and the Medical Research Council (MRC), and with the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
The report recommended action by the research funding agencies on coordinating activities and making funding available. We are taking steps to ensure that funders work closely together to coordinate work along the translational pathway, from the discovery and early translational science typically supported by the MRC, feeding through to the applied health and care research funded by the NIHR.
It is not usual practice to ring-fence funds for particular topics or conditions. As with other Government funders of health research, the NIHR does not allocate funding for specific disease areas. The level of research spend in a particular area is driven by factors including scientific potential and the number and scale of successful funding applications.
To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, whether her Department has made an assessment of the potential impact of the Office for National Statistics’ aggregation of pharmaceutical and chemical sector research and development expenditure in its Business, enterprise research and development, UK statistical release on the...

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&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.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she made an assessment of the potential impact on university (a) finances and (b) research of the proposed new taxes on air travel before the Prime Minister announced on 20 September 2023 that this proposal would not go ahead.

The Office for Students (OfS) is the independent regulator for the higher education sector in England, and is responsible for monitoring and reporting on its financial sustainability. The Secretary of State, departmental officials and I continue to work closely with the OfS and various parties including mission groups, providers, and other government departments as appropriate, to understand the ongoing impacts and changing landscape of financial sustainability in the sector.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding the Government has made available for research into paediatric brain tumours in each of the last five years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding the Government has made available for research into paediatric brain tumours in each of the last five years.
The Department invests in health research through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR). NIHR invests in research, clinical expertise, specialist facilities, workforce, and support services across a range of clinical areas. NIHR expenditure on cancer research was over £101 million in 2021/22.
The Government is committed to funding high-quality brain cancer research. In May 2018 the Government announced £40 million for brain tumour research as part of the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission through the NIHR. This includes research into paediatric brain tumours.
The £40 million funding will remain available; if we can spend more on the best quality science, we will do. The level of funding for brain tumour research depends on funding applications received. It is worth noting that all applications to NIHR that have been assessed as “fundable” in open competition have been funded and this will continue.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding his Department has allocated to research into treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma in children in each of the past 10 years.
To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, how much funding his Department has allocated to research into treatment of diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma in children in each of the past 10 years.
As with other Government funders of health research, the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) does not allocate funding for specific disease areas. The level of research spend in a particular area is driven by different factors, including scientific potential and the number and scale of successful funding applications. The NIHR welcomes funding applications for research into any aspect of human health, including diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma (DIPG).
Since 2013, the NIHR has supported delivery in the health and care system for eight DIPG research studies, funded by research funding partners in the charity and public sectors. NIHR provides infrastructure support to studies taking place in the National Health Service. For example, staff, research nurses, local networks and NHS trusts will work across many studies, to varying degrees. As a result, NIHR cannot provide precise information on expenditure.
In May 2018 the government announced £40 million for brain tumour research as part of the Tessa Jowell Brain Cancer Mission. The Government is committed to funding high-quality brain cancer research. The £40 million funding remains available.
