Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how much funding he has allocated to climate science and research in each year since 2010.
UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) estimates that around £116 million per annum has been committed over the last ten years through their Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) into research related to climate science. In addition funding for the Met Office Hadley Centre Climate Programme has almost doubled since 2010.
