Many innovative British Startups are being forced to leave the UK due to the lack of proper R&D funding support. It may be worth trying to retain those businesses before encouraging overseas interests to come in.

Department for Business and Trade -- I am old enough to remember Dr Vince Cable introduce the Green Bank - to support innovation. At the time he was outspoken about Death Valley of innovation and the fact that by supporting innovation there would be a considerable increase in productivety and the economy. Various Departments return to this space - what stands out for me as a Death Valley innovator - Foreign owned companies are feted with ££Millions in funding - really the creation of jobs. Whilst UK innovation and innovative companies are left to attempt to take out loans which are not going to happen for a company which is unlikely to genrate income for months if not years. My heartfelt suggestion is High time that you research UK owned Innovative companies - funded those companies and retain the eventual profits in the UK economy instead of Profits to foreign owners. Thank you Al Scott
