The Department of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) was created on 14th July 2016 bringing together the Department of Energy and Climate Change and the Department of Business Innovation and Skills.

During the period in question, high-level public policy targets for the Departments in 2010 were outlined in the Coalition Agreement. The plan can be found here:
