Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, how often the retail sector council is planned to meet; what the scope of that council is; and what work it is undertaking.
The Retail Sector Council held its first meeting in March this year, and its second meeting on 25th June.
The Council is industry led and brings Government and industry together to boost the sector’s productivity and economic health. There are a range of retailers and retail associations on the Council, and all types of retail activity in the UK are in scope.
