Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer from Baroness Jones of Whitchurch on 7 May (HL6732), when they plan to issue an updated Critical Minerals Strategy.

Thanks to the extensive engagement and insights from our industry and expert stakeholders as well as cross-government collaboration, we have developed a powerful new vision and plan for securing critical minerals in the UK.

Following the outcome of the multi-year Spending Review and the publication of the Industrial Strategy, the Critical Minerals Strategy will be published later this year.
