Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government when the first independent board effectiveness exercise will be run on the UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) Board to ensure that it is meeting its obligations to scrutinise the UKRI Executive.
The UKRI Board will report to my Rt hon Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. The UKRI Board’s effectiveness will be reviewed independently on an annual basis. This is in line with the corporate governance code of practice set by the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury.
