Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what plans they have to support the research of all forms of mathematics at universities in England.
In academic year 2020-21, Research England allocated £66.4 million to Mathematical Sciences. This financial year the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, part of UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), is forecasting a spend of £50.975 million on Mathematical Sciences research in English universities. Plans for funding for future years will be dependent on the outcome of the recently announced Spending Review.
