Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what criteria will be used by the Industrial Strategy Council to monitor the implementation of the Industrial Strategy.
The Industrial Strategy Council will be independent and tasked with taking a long-tern view. It will be responsible for putting the right evaluation and reporting structures in place to assess our progress.
We will begin the process to establish the Council as soon as possible. Our aim is for it to start work in spring 2018.
