Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport what recent assessment he has made of the size of the optoelectronics industry in the UK.
Official statistics are not published to a sufficient level of detail to identify the size of the optoelectronics sector in the UK.
The Government does however work closely with both the Photonics Leadership Council and the Elect-Tech Council. The Council’s “UK Photonics: The Hidden Economic Engine” identifies the UK’s significant strengths in Photonics, including optoelectronics.
