Industry: Policy

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether her Department plans to publish an industrial strategy.

Answer

Growth is one of the Prime Minister’s top five priorities. The Government has a plan to grow the economy, capitalising on both the UK’s world-leading position in the sectors of the future and the regulatory and trade opportunities of leaving the European Union. This Department plays a vital role in this cross-Government effort, and we are committed to working in partnership with the private sector.

For example, Sir Patrick Vallance, the Government Chief Scientific Adviser, is leading a review of regulation in five high-potential sectors – digital technology, green industries, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, and creative industries – to identify barriers to innovation and catalyse growth.
