Government's industrial strategy examined by MPs

• Parliament TV: Industrial strategy: sector deals and productivity
• Inquiry: Industrial strategy: sector deals and productivity
• Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee

MPs will also question representatives from the construction industry – the only sector to secure a deal from four industries being examined in the Committee's inquiry (off-shore wind, retail and hospitality), and question UK Steel on their views of sector deals. The inquiry is focused on the role of sector deals in the Government's Industrial Strategy and their likely impact on the UK's productivity.

Purpose of the session

The session with the construction and steel industries is likely to focus on whether sector deals can meet the wide needs of their sectors and promote productivity, and the challenges of securing a deal. The Minister will then face questions on the aims of the Industrial Strategy, progress made on the sector deals and which other sectors the Government is likely to support.
