Supporting The UK’s Priority Industry Sectors

In October 2024 the Secretary of State for Business and Trade and the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced a new Industrial Strategy and published a green paper for consultation, Invest 2035. In the Strategy, the government designated eight growth-driving sectors which present the greatest opportunity for output and productivity growth over the long term.

This National Audit Office report examines whether the Department for Business and Trade is well-positioned to secure impact from its support for priority industry sectors, including how it works with other departments and delivery partners to do so.
