Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps the Government is taking to simplify regulatory requirements for manufacturing sectors critical to national infrastructure.

The Government is simplifying regulation for manufacturing sectors critical to national infrastructure through the Advanced Manufacturing Sector Plan and wider Industrial Strategy. We are reducing barriers to investment by improving coordination and speeding up delivery decisions. For example, the Strategic Sites Accelerator is simplifying and accelerating the development process for major manufacturing sites, reducing delays and enabling faster investment in critical industrial capacity.
