Written Answers

Science and Technology: Diplomatic Relations Asked by: Chi Onwurah (Labour - Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West) Thursday 16th April 2026 Question to the Department for Science, Innovation & Technology: To ask the Secretary of State for Science, Innovation and Technology, what assessment he has made of potential impact of science diplomacy in achieving UK technology sovereignty; and whether her Department intends to pursue shared leadership arrangements with international partners where appropriate. Answered by Kanishka Narayan - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Science, Innovation and Technology) Science diplomacy supports UK technology sovereignty by building international partnerships which strengthen our capabilities, resilience and security. This is underpinned by our Science & Technology Network covering 65 locations which strengthens UK growth, security and global influence. DSIT regularly assesses the impacts of our international collaboration on our science and technology capability. For example, internationally coauthored UK papers consistently outperform UK only research on citation impact. We have partnerships with a broad range of countries including the US and EU, Japan, India, South Korea, Switzerland, France and Germany. We are also active members of multilateral fora including OECD, G7 and G20.

Select Committee Inquiry

16 Apr 2026 Low-energy computing Science, Innovation and Technology Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 14 May 2026) AI model sizes and data volumes are growing significantly. At the same time, areas like quantum computing and protein synthesis also require increasing amounts of computational power. This trend is exerting increasing demands on energy supplies, and it has been suggested that new innovations in silicon photonics and neuromorphic computing could offer a solution.  The Science, Innovation and Technology committee is examining how realistic a possibility this is, when breakthroughs might be expected to take place and what the government is doing to support research and innovation activity in this area. This inquiry has been launched following pitches made to the committee as part of its Under the Microscope initiative.
