Industrial Strategy Advisory Council
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, for what reason the Industrial Strategy Advisory Council does not include representatives from the (a) life sciences and (b) advanced manufacturing sectors.
Answered by Sarah Jones
The Industrial Strategy Advisory Council is made up of sixteen of the UK’s business leaders, policy experts and trade union leaders who have been appointed based on their expertise and wide-ranging experience. Diversity of background has been a key focus in the decisions on membership to ensure we reflect the broadest range of perspectives this country has to offer, including in the Industrial Strategy’s growth-driving sectors such as advanced manufacturing and life sciences.
