Mrs. Curtis-Thomas: To ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will list his (a) national and (b) regional
competitiveness objectives. [123545]
Ms Hewitt: My Department's aim is to increase competitiveness and scientific excellence in order to generate higher levels of
sustainable growth and productivity in a modern economy. To achieve that, we have set ourselves four over-arching national
objectives: to promote enterprise, innovation and increased productivity; to make the most of the UK's science, engineering and
technology; to create strong and competitive markets; and to develop a fair and effective legal and regulatory framework. Specific
targets in pursuit of these objectives are set out in the DTI Public Service Agreement, which is in the Library of the House.
At regional level, our objective is to raise the economic performance of all regions, working with other Government Departments and
Regional Development Agencies. My Department pursues its policies in ways which recognise regional differences. Regional
competitiveness strategies have been developed by the Regional Development Agencies, and the Department works closely with them to
ensure that its regional policies, including Regional Selective Assistance, the Assisted Areas map, EU Structural Funds and new
initiatives such as the enterprise grant scheme contribute towards achieving the objectives set out in these strategies.
