Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Greg Clark and Craig Tracey

Tuesday 12th December 2017 Commons Chamber

[Craig Tracey (North Warwickshire) (Con)]

Does the Secretary of State agree that the key to a successful industrial strategy is that it focuses on all areas of the UK, obviously including North Warwickshire and Bedworth?

[Greg Clark]

I do indeed. One of the features of our industrial strategy, which takes an approach that previous business policies have not taken sufficient account of over many decades, is the importance of the skills and clusters of industries in local places. As my hon. Friend knows, that is very much at the heart of the industrial strategy that we have published.
