Reeves will probably reflect the appropriations for some other departments as an exercise in greatness, even where the numbers only walk water with inflation.
The government said on Sunday that the cost review would allocate £ 86 billion on research and development for four years, not giving details of its distribution. The figure of 2025-26 in the amount of 20.4 billion pounds will grow up to £ 22.5 billion to 2029-30.
