Conclusion
The Secretary of State’s commitment to maintain the existing sector deals does not fully address long-term concerns about the Government’s approach to sectoral policy. Whether the Government intends to refocus and prioritise its sectoral Post-pandemic economic growth: Industrial policy in the UK 51 approach, as suggested in its evidence, remains unclear. We are concerned that the Government’s current approach is providing business with neither clarity nor certainty.
