I am quite disappointed by the underspend on the research side of things. Perhaps we need to go back and see why it was not spent. From being in research myself, I know every researcher has a stack of oven-ready projects that could be funded at a minute's notice. It is surprising the money was not spent, especially in light of the crises in both biodiversity and climate that we face. There may be some barrier. Will the Minister make sure that is cleared?
