Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, if he will take steps to expand the role of his Department's Industrial Strategy in supporting and growing the cooperative sector.


This question was answered on 2nd July 2018

The Government’s ambitious, modern Industrial Strategy sets out a long-term plan to boost the productivity and earning power of people throughout the UK. It sets out how we are building a Britain fit for the future – how we will help businesses create better, higher-paying jobs in every part of the UK with investment in the skills, industries and infrastructure of the future.

The Government fully recognises the social and economic contribution of the co-operative and social enterprise sector and remains receptive to exploring opportunities to help it realise its potential, as we set out recently in our response to the Law Commission’s report on pension funds and social investment.
