Priorities of the Business and Trade Committee for 2026

Status: Closed Opened: 24 Sep 2025 Closed: 29 Apr 2026 1 report
Inquiry scopeThe UK economy confronts challenges to growth, weak productivity and fragile investment. Businesses face rising costs, regulatory uncertainty, and a complex trade environment. Yet confidence is central to whether firms invest, recruit and innovate—or hold back. Ahead of the Budget, the Prime Minister has signalled a renewed focus on boosting economic growth. The Government has said that it will set up a new board, including ministerial, advisory and business representatives, to help steward pro-growth policies, and encourage dialogue with business and the City. The Committee will now put this question of priorities for growth at the heart of a new consultation on its workplan for 2026.
