Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the contribution of the mathematical sciences to the eight priority sectors identified in the Industrial Strategy.

The Assessment of priority skills to 2030 report shows the proportion of employed learners that enter priority occupations across the ten priority sectors (eight industrial strategy sectors, adult social care, and construction). This assessment shows that 57% of learners with a degree (level 6) in mathematical sciences enter these priority occupations.
