Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology:

To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, with reference to page 8 of the Government's R&D People and Culture Strategy, published in July 2021, what progress she has made on working with funders and the research and innovation community to co-design a joined-up talent offer.

The Government is continuing to work closely with UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), the four UK National Academies and the wider R&D sector, including through the R&D People and Culture Strategy Ministerial Coordination Group, to ensure the UK has an attractive joined-up talent offer to support our science and technology superpower ambitions.
