Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what progress was reported at the most recent Critical Minerals Expert Committee.
The Critical Minerals Strategy was published on 22 July 2022 and sets out plans to accelerate the UK’s domestic capabilities, collaborate with international partners and enhance international financial and trading markets.
The Critical Minerals Expert Committee provides high quality, independent advice to the Government on critical minerals. At the most recent Committee meeting on 10 October, members reflected on the publication of the Strategy, and articulated which measures should be prioritised in the Delivery Plan which we are expecting to publish by the end of the year.
