The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what role her Department’s Enterprise and Growth Unit will have in supporting (a) the Government’s Growth Mission and (b) the Spending Review next year.

Answered by Tulip Siddiq

The growth mission is the government’s central mission. The Enterprise and Growth Unit plays a key role in driving the mission forward. It is focused on policy development, in partnership with business, industry and other stakeholders, across the seven growth mission pillars outlined at the Autumn Budget. It works closely with other groups within HM Treasury, for example the International and Financial Services Groups and the new Growth Delivery Unit which is focused on delivery.

At the Spending Review, the Enterprise and Growth Unit is responsible for spending control for several departments and will work closely with departments to ensure spending plans are affordable and support the government’s missions.
