Recommendation
While some businesses in some sectors were aware of the strategy’s purpose and objectives, for many it was distant, did not provide clear direction nor influence decision making. We would like Government to ensure that future industrial policy is easily understood at the grassroots of British industry and translatable to the everyday experiences of businesses in the UK.
Government Response Summary
The government describes the previous Industrial Strategy and states that ongoing aspects will continue, with some policies evolving as part of the Plan for Growth, but does not commit to specific actions to ensure future policy is easily understood at the grassroots.
