Conclusion
The Secretary of State’s decision to axe the Industrial Strategy Council is difficult to reconcile with his conclusion that the Council did a good job - a conclusion with which we agree. The more challenging context today enhances the necessity of independent oversight. The abolition of the Council is not consistent with the Secretary of State’s wider contention that the Plan for Growth is, in effect, an evolution of the Industrial Strategy.
