Conclusion
The UK’s approach to economic security shows less cross-government co-ordination than our most important international partners. The Government’s approach is characterised by siloed thinking, a lack of adequate institutional support, and a reliance on strategies that are vulnerable to churn as ministers and governments change. The abolition of the National Security Council’s Economic Security Sub-Committee leaves even less clarity as to how economic security will be factored in at the heart of Government decision-making.
