Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the answer given by Earl Howe on 9 January (HL Deb, col 1728), on what date they plan to publish their National Industrial Strategy.

We aim to publish a Green Paper on our Industrial Strategy in the coming weeks. The publication of the Green Paper will continue the open and collaborative dialogue to develop the new strategy and we look forward to receiving contributions from people and organisations across the country, including from the defence sector.
