The Government agrees with the Committee that its policies and strategies should support the whole economy and deliver for all parts of the UK. In delivering the Plan for Growth, the Government will continue to work with the Devolved Administrations and regional and local leaders where appropriate to drive progress towards shared objectives and promote long-term growth and recovery across the UK. Engagement with the Devolved Administrations take place on both ministerial and official levels and include discussions on Business and Industry, Research and Innovation, and Net Zero. Individual departments responsible for delivering the policies and publications set out in the Plan for Growth will be best placed to make decisions on the optimal approach to that engagement, reflecting local insight and intelligence in their policy development.
