Written Answers
Artificial Intelligence: Economic Growth Asked by: Baroness Alexander of Cleveden (Labour - Life peer) Monday 17th November 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the potential impact of the AI Growth Lab on economic growth. Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Government recognises that artificial intelligence represents a defining economic opportunity for the coming decade. The OECD estimates that AI adoption could add 0.4 to 1.3 percentage points to the UK’s productivity growth- equivalent to adding £55-140 billion to UK GVA in 2030. Lab would drive innovation and growth, super charging investment in innovative start-ups. The exact quantity of investment is uncertain, but firms participating in a previous FCA sandbox received 6.6 times more investment compared to non-participants.[1] Early analysis indicates that lifting unnecessary legal barriers to AI in the Lab could unlock billions of pounds of GVA by 2035.

Technology: Innovation Asked by: Baroness Alexander of Cleveden (Labour - Life peer) Thursday 20th November 2025 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support technological innovation. Answered by Baroness Lloyd of Effra - Baroness in Waiting (HM Household) (Whip) The Digital and Technologies sector plan, part of the government’s Modern Industrial Strategy, aims to make the UK the best place in the world to start and scale a fast growing technology business. The plan focuses on six frontier technologies - Advanced Connectivity Technologies, AI, cyber, engineering biology, quantum and semiconductors - where the UK has comparative advantage. We will take a cross government approach to developing these frontier technologies to grow including through, skills programmes, improving access to finance, support with energy costs and leveraging international opportunities. Targeted R&D investment will also be critical to driving innovation and incentivising private sector investment in these technologies. That is why in this SR, £58.5 billion is allocated for DSIT to invest in R&D, including funding for UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Innovate UK - the UK’s national innovation agency.
