Answer

As Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology, I have no responsibility for any government departments. With regard to Crown entities under the Science, Innovation and Technology portfolio, I am responsible for board appointments, and I have no employment responsibilities for staff. With regard to Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment which is under the Economic Growth Portfolio, please refer to response to written parliamentary question 3141 (2026).
