CaSE Response to Spring Budget 2024

06 Mar 2024

CaSE’s initial response to the Chancellor’s 2024 Spring Budget, given on 6th March.

It is very welcome that the Government continues to recognise that “Science and innovation are powerful drivers of economic growth”.

There is clear and emphatic support from the Chancellor for UK R&D, with a positive focus on business R&D investment. It is worth noting that many of the commitments made today had already been made in last year’s Autumn Statement and we have not yet had time to see how these will pan out.

Dr Daniel Rathbone

Interim Executive Director
