Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, pursuant to the Answer of 23 February 2015 to Question 224087, which of those documents on BAFTA funding provide guidance on diversity issues.

Innovate UK is the UK’s innovation agency. It is the prime channel through which the Government incentivises business-led technology innovation. Its grant funding is allocated based on the merits of applications, including the economic, social and environmental impacts. Innovate UK’s terms and conditions for grant funding do not include explicit requirements in relation to diversity, but any contribution to equality of opportunity presented in a proposal would strengthen the case for funding support.
