Written Question
Ministry of Defence: Research
Wednesday 28th September 2022

Asked by: Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party - Dundee East)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how much was spent by his Department on research contracts in each region in the most recent financial year for which figures are available.

Answered by Alec Shelbrooke

A full breakdown of spend on research contracts by region is not centrally held and could only be provided at disproportionate cost. However, I am able to provide details of payments for financial year 2021-22 to suppliers for research contracted out to industry and academia by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory. It should be noted that the regional analysis is based on office or billing address only and some of the work will have been subcontracted by the supplier.
