Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to establish metrics to monitor the effectiveness of the Government’s scale-up interventions.

Monitoring and evaluation are an important way of identifying lessons that can be learnt to improve both the design and delivery of future interventions. Consistent with HMT guidance, we will establish metrics and proportionate monitoring and evaluation provisions for DBT’s scale-up interventions.
