Question to the Department for Business and Trade:
To ask His Majesty's Government, in the light of the publication of the UK's Modern Industrial Strategy on 23 June, whether they plan to prioritise green industries and advanced manufacturing in Wales.
Answered by Baroness Gustafsson - Minister of State (Department for Business and Trade)
Through the Industrial Strategy, we are prioritising growth-driving sectors, including clean energy industries and advanced manufacturing in Wales. This means supporting and building on Wales' globally competitive strengths in these industries, from green hydrogen at the Celtic Freeport to Airbus wing manufacturing in Broughton. Our Industrial Strategy Sector Plans set out our 10-year strategy for these sectors to increase business investment and productivity. This includes targeted support for investment and innovation in growth-driving sectors and clusters, including those in Wales.
