Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether he has conducted an impact assessment into Invest 2035.

The Green Paper ‘Invest 2035’ set out the vision for the government’s Industrial Strategy to engage key stakeholders and invite their contributions to the consultation process. As such it does not set out individual policies which can be subject to an impact assessment. Consistent with best practice, policies in the Government’s forthcoming Industrial Strategy will have impact assessments carried out where relevant.
