Source? If you look at expenditure on pharmaceutical research and development in the UK vs. the US, you see that 9% of global R&D expenditure is UK based, and 49% is US based.
This very closely matches the population differences between the UK and US (at a population of 63M vs. 317M).
Within Europe, the UK represents 23% of all pharmaceutical R&D funding; France is only slightly lower at 20% of the total.
