Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what the governance arrangements will be for UK Research and Innovation.
The Higher Education and Research Bill and white paper set out the high level framework for the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) governance arrangements. Subject to the will of parliament, the final arrangements will be refined and agreed in partnership with the UKRI Chief Executive and Board once appointed. These arrangements will follow best practice for non-departmental public bodies and managing public money guidance, and will be published once agreed.
