The Industrial Strategy is a cross-government policy which comprises and drives a significant number of initiatives. These span a wide array of policy areas across 20 government departments and arm’s-length bodies.

The Ministry of Justice does not maintain records of the number of officials associated with supporting the Industrial Strategy. It is a departmental priority to support a flourishing legal services sector and the growth of the UK’s £6bn trade surplus in legal services through improving market access for UK legal professionals overseas and by maintaining and promoting the strength of UK legal services, English and Welsh law and the UK courts.
