Vote 45 - Further and Higher Education, Research, Innovation and Science (Supplementary) (24 Oct 2024)

We have increased thresholds and grant amounts. We also made technical adjustments to the scheme...

We spend a lot of our time speaking about apprenticeships and higher education but part of our remit is research. We have reformed significantly the legislation and organisations that oversee and are charged with managing our research as well as with supporting people through...
