The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what the Government's policy is on future use of the Critical Imports and Supply Chain Strategy.

Answered by Mr Douglas Alexander

The Critical Imports and Supply Chains Strategy was a product of the previous government.

As part of our Growth Mission, this government is committed to assessing where supply chains critical to the UK's economic security and growth could be vulnerable to disruption and is working to build resilience. Our upcoming Industrial and Trade Strategies will set out further detail on the steps we are taking to ensure the UK’s growth is secure and resilient.
