<p>We have consulted industry closely in our work to refresh defence industrial policy.
This included a workshop with representatives from a cross-section of industrial and
academic organisations, an online consultation through Gov.UK, and discussions hosted
by defence trade associations, the Defence Growth Partnership and at meetings of the
Defence Suppliers Forum. We have also received individual representations from companies
and business organisations. We attach great importance to this consultation in developing
effective and relevant policy, and will seek similarly close and constructive dialogue
with business organisations in its implementation.</p>
