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 the effectiveness of the Innovation Skills Framework.
The Department has not made a formal assessment of this Framework, which is being delivered by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI). UKRI is working to further refine and develop the Framework. Through Innovate UK, it will continue to work with the Institute for Apprenticeships and Technical Education and in due course with Skills England, to monitor the impact of applying this Framework.
