What it examines

MPs ask for clearer measures of how public support helps businesses grow and stronger arrangements for taxpayers to share in successful publicly funded research. The report examines links between UKRI grant recipients and BBB/NWF finance, and asks UKRI to explain planned changes to intellectual-property and equity terms.

Why it matters

Scrutiny of how grants connect with public investment and how government captures financial returns. These are committee recommendations, not adopted investment terms or new commitments.
