Scope and limits

This is a disclosure and advocacy-tracking claim, not a technical or economic claim in itself; use it only to flag the advocacy and circularity context around UK parliamentary SBSP mentions. The absence of an SBSP-specific commitment in this one ministerial reply does not prove that no UK SBSP funding decision exists anywhere in this period: CLM-0287 shows a separate, real funding programme running 2022-2024. In the same 24 April 2024 debate the same Member also said "The Department for Energy Security and Net Zero sponsored and set up a three-day conference last week to study this area, at which I spoke on the last day" and "The Government have stepped up to the plate ... and have indicated possible further support through match funding", the latter about Queen's University Belfast phased-array work; both statements are made by an interested party and were not independently corroborated, so they are recorded as UNVERIFIED claims by an interested Member. Hansard is a verbatim transcript with no authors and no published method, so it is graded T5, as committee evidence is, with attribution to the speaker. The 2025 transcript does contain a space-based solar power passage after the Minister's reply begins, but the speaker headings place it in the opening Member's closing speech (c367WH), not in the reply. Both transcripts were read through the TheyWorkForYou mirror of Hansard, run by mySociety. The Members are described by role; both role labels are printed in the transcript headings.
