Asked by: Neil O'Brien (Conservative - Harborough)
Question to the HM Treasury:
What progress has been made on the creation of local industrial strategies.
Answered by Robert Jenrick
We will work with all Local Enterprise Partnerships and Mayoral Combined Authorities across England to develop Local Industrial Strategies.
We have already been working with Greater Manchester, West Midlands, and partners across the Oxford-Cambridge Arc to develop ‘trailblazer’ Local Industrial Strategies, which we expect to be completed in the first half of next year.
We will then be working with a second ‘wave’ of places including the Leicester & Leicestershire LEP that covers Harborough.
