Regional Innovation and Growth

The following extract is from the Select Committee statement on Regional Innovation and Growth on 18 June 2026.

[Johanna Baxter (Paisley and Renfrewshire South) (Lab)]

I thank my hon. Friend and the Select Committee for their report. Can she say a little more about the role of the Scottish Government in this area, and whether the Select Committee had any observations about the relationship between the Scottish Government and the UK Government in that regard? She has referred to the role of devolution in this space, so is that relationship securing the gathering and sharing of data that she might expect and that she raised in her statement, and if not, what more can be done?

[Dame Chi Onwurah]

We looked at innovation in the ecosystems around Edinburgh and Aberdeen, and we found fantastic examples of world leadership in scientific research and innovation in Scotland.
