The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether the cyber security sector will be included in the industrial strategy.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Industrial Strategy will focus on eight growth-driving sectors. Digital and Technologies has been identified as one of those eight sectors, the UK being the third country in the world to have a tech sector valued at over $1trillion. Within those growth sectors, the Government will prioritise sub-sectors that meet our objectives and where there is evidence that policy can address barriers to growth.
