Average annual research investment (for years of data used in IRR calculation as reported in source publications, using different time period for calculating constant prices and therefore not suitable for comparisons) | £70 million (1978–1997, in constant 2013/2014 prices) | £266 million (1976–1995, in constant 2011/2012 prices) | £111 million (1975–1998, in constant 2005/2006 prices) |
