Science and Technology and the Industrial Strategy inquiry Science and Technology Committee (Select) Not accepting submissions The Government published a Green Paper, Building our Industrial Strategy on 23 January. The consultation on this document closes on 17 April. In the Green Paper the Government states that it wants to build an industrial strategy that addresses long-term challenges to the UK economy. The Government’s aim is to improve living standards and economic growth by increasing productivity and driving growth across the whole country. In this short investigation, the Committee will concentrate on the science, technology and innovation aspects of the Industrial Strategy Green Paper. It will seek perspectives on the proposals contained within the document and seek to highlight any omissions.
