PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Innovate UK: Staff (28 November 2016)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what plans he has for the future staffing of Innovate UK.

Asked by:
Clive Lewis (Labour)

Answer

Innovate UK’s Chief Executive is responsible for determining the organisation’s staffing level, ensuring it is both affordable and that recruitment controls are observed. The creation of UK Research and Innovation, subject to Parliament, and the announcement at the 2016 Autumn Statement of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund, may have an impact on staffing at Innovate UK in due course. The Government will work with the Chief Executive to ensure the organisation is appropriately resourced.
