Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, whether his Department records the number of jobs created and retained through the Life Sciences Innovative Manufacturing Fund by region and occupation.

The Life Sciences Innovative Manufacturing Fund (LSIMF) supports capital investment in life sciences manufacturing in the UK, helping to strengthen domestic manufacturing capability and support economic growth. The Department records and monitors the number of jobs created and safeguarded through projects supported by LSIMF, alongside the location of supported investments. It does not routinely record these jobs by occupation.
