Conclusion
Coordinated and strategic industrial policy is required if the Government is to meet its growth, levelling up and net zero ambitions. It appears that many aspects of the Plan for Growth will be overseen by a cross-cabinet committee chaired by the Prime Minister and the Committee welcomes this opportunity to apply the highest levels of political priority to the problems the Industrial Strategy was trying to solve.

HM Government
Not Addressed
The Government is focussed on the delivery of these ambitious objectives, and its planning and performance framework is being reformed to support this. Published Outcome Delivery Plans (ODPs)1 are being embedded in departments and a new focused performance reporting system at the centre will provide regular reporting to the Prime Minister, Cabinet Office and HM Treasury. This will provide an ongoing picture of departmental activity, including progress delivering policies within the Plan for Growth framework.
