The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when he plans to publish an Industrial Strategy.

Answered by Sarah Jones

As stated in the Kings Speech this government is committed to establishing an industrial strategy council on a statutory footing. Growth is this Government's number one priority. To achieve growth and create secure, well-paid jobs across the country, we will get businesses investing again through a clear, credible, long-term modern Industrial Strategy. To succeed, the Strategy will need to be designed and delivered in partnership with business, unions, local leaders and wider stakeholders. The Strategy will be published in the coming months and I will update the house in due course.
