Expenditure by UK businesses on performing R&D, by country or region, 2011-2014

Here are two maps from the ONS showing the amount of investment into Research and Development made by businesses in the UK, (1) – 2014; (2) – 2011.
Wales saw a high percentage increase in the four years between 2011 – 2014, but from what was a very low base, and is still not receiving the investment needed in R&D.

If our economy is to grow, if we are to succeed economically we need to see much more investment in R&D.
