Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the challenges faced by the retail sector.
This question was answered on 16th May 2018
We want to see the sector thrive and engage regularly with retailers, retail associations and other key stakeholders to understand the sector’s concerns and challenges.
BEIS is working with retail businesses and trade bodies to support the sector; in March, as part of our Industrial Strategy, we established the Retail Sector Council. This will bring Government and industry together to boost the sector’s productivity and economic health.
