Through the consultation on the Green Paper, over 2,000 organisations from all parts of the United Kingdom helped shape the industrial strategy. This included various informative representations recommending the creation of an independent body to help support its implementation. We will begin the process to establish the Council as soon as possible. Our aim is for it to start work in spring 2018.
