Our Plan for Growth sets out the opportunities we will seize across the UK to drive economic growth, create jobs and support British industry as we level-up and build back better out of this pandemic – succeeding the Industrial Strategy published over four years ago.</p><p>We want to understand the ideas and priorities of the Devolved Administrations in relation to driving long-term growth and recovery.

uin	174042
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/03/2021 answer text <p>HM Government is grateful to the Board of Trade for its thought leadership on trade policy. The Rt Hon. Lady will know from reading the <em>Global Britain, Local Jobs</em> report that there are benefits for the British people – in every corner of the country – from an ambitious trade agenda.</p><p> </p><p>We are proud to have secured trade deals with 66 countries, plus the EU. These agreements provide a strong foundation for our trading relationships, covering trade worth £890 billion in 2019, but do not represent the limit of our ambition. We will seek to improve upon these to maximise trading opportunities.</p><p> </p><p>HM Government will make sure digital markets are opened by reducing barriers to the flow of data, whilst maintaining high standards of protection. We will reduce regulatory divergence by securing commitments through Free Trade Agreement (FTA) negotiations, the WTO E-Commerce Joint Initiative negotiations, and the United Kingdom’s G7 Presidency. It is important that all regulations are proportionate and not trade-distorting. We will bring down non-tariff barriers through trade negotiations so that safe goods and services from the United Kingdom can be sold into new markets freely.</p><p> </p><p>The Board of Trade report defines “key industries” as those parts of the economy with the greatest chances to increase their exports, thanks to trade policy and trade promotion interventions. HM Government agrees with the Board of Trade that trade agreements can deliver opportunities nationwide, and is considering how to add the data from this cutting-edge research into our policy.</p><p> </p><p>The Rt Hon. Lady will know that the Department for International Trade (DIT) has already published an impact assessment for the FTA with Japan, setting out the potential impacts on every part of the United Kingdom.[1] The Board of Trade’s report focuses on the next international steps our nation can take. Domestic policy, including ‘freeports’, is not explored in the report. Neither the Board of Trade nor HM Government intend to publish an addendum to this report.</p><p> </p><p>[1] <a href="https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.gov.uk%2Fgovernment%2Fpublications%2Fuk-japan-cepa-final-impact-assessment&amp;data=04%7C01%7CMarc.Ducroquet-Lavin%40trade.gov.uk%7Ca5a6a48f09be4f81901508d8efb6a670%7C8fa217ec33aa46fbad96dfe68006bb86%7C0%7C0%7C637522915038950594%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=6yGyF2fDRsG%2FRb%2BwpKHKEz9X0Jfuqu%2BbBNEiYyA9M2E%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/uk-japan-cepa-final-impact-assessment</a>.</p> answering member constituency North East Hampshire answering member printed Mr Ranil Jayawardena grouped question UIN 174038 174039 174040 174041 174043 174044 174045 174046 question first answered 31/03/2021 10:58:17 answering member 4498 label Biography information for Mr Ranil Jayawardena

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 02/03/2021 answer text <p>The majority of the 142 policy commitments from the 2017 Industrial Strategy are now in delivery, with around £45 billion of funding assigned to initiatives. These initiatives have strengthened the foundations of productivity, by investing in transport, housing, digital infrastructure, and skills. The Grand Challenges and missions have strengthened the UK’s standing as a global leader in AI, clean growth, healthy ageing, and future transport technology – preparing the UK for a resilient, future economy.</p><p> </p><p>However, the 2017 Industrial Strategy was developed in a pre-COVID-19, pre-Brexit world and the coming decade poses new challenges. The Government is, and will continue to be, a champion of the needs of business and industry as we build back better from the pandemic. We will be laying out our plans to drive growth and support jobs across the UK in due course, and existing work will continue where appropriate.</p> answering member constituency Derby North answering member printed Amanda Solloway question first answered 02/03/2021 15:11:38 answering member 4372 label Biography information for Amanda Solloway
