What I am aware of is that Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs R and D tax and credits unit held a workshop in Glasgow on 9 February, and it was well attended by businesses from the Glasgow area.
Fiona Bruce (Congleton) (Con)

David Mundell
The Government do indeed intend to abolish that restriction, and I believe that it will have the benefits that my hon. Friend outlines.
