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

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether they have any published targets for UK productivity over the next five years; and if so, what they are.

The Government has not explicitly targeted a level of productivity for the UK. However, as part of the follow-up work to the Productivity Plan it has tracked progress made in implementing each of the Productivity Plan’s commitments, along with success metrics which can be used to measure progress against each of the Plan’s headline objectives.

Details of these can be found in the Government’s response to the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Select Committee Inquiry into the Productivity Plan: http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm201617/cmselect/cmbeis/931/93102.htm
