question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the growth of UK-based green industries and the resultant need for high levels of critical mineral supplies.
tabling member printed	The Lord Bishop of Birmingham
uin	HL6041
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/07/2020 answer text <p>The Government fully understands the value of critical minerals to green industries and a whole range of other advanced manufacturing sectors in the UK. We understand that security of supply is fundamental; industry needs to have confidence that it can access the raw resources it needs, particularly if it is to move into new, low-carbon markets and help the UK to become a net zero nation by 2050.</p><p> </p><p>The Government’s strategy for securing access to critical minerals, or any other key materials and components, has long been to vigorously secure, at a global level, free, fair and open international trade. This approach has remained successful for many decades and the Government remains confident that this remains the most effective approach going forward. However, we will continue to monitor the supply of these minerals closely.</p> answering member printed Lord Callanan grouped question UIN HL6040 question first answered 06/07/2020 16:06:23 answering member 4336 label Biography information for Lord Callanan
