BEIS Committee evidence session on Off-shore wind and industrial strategy - Oct 17

On Wednesday 17^th October, the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee holds the latest evidence session for its inquiry on Industrial Strategy by looking at the off-shore wind industry.

This session looks at the potential for a sector-deal for the off-shore wind industry and Government support for the industry more generally. The Committee hears from industry representatives Benj Sykes, Vice President, Ørsted, and co-Chair of the Offshore Wind Council, Andrew Jamieson, Chief Executive, ORE Catapult and Emma Pinchbeck, Executive, Director, RenewableUK

In the remainder of the Committee’s inquiry, the Committee will hear from the construction sector before hearing from Ministers. 

The Committee's Industrial Strategy inquiry has initially focussed on four sectors: off-shore wind, construction, retail, and hospitality. Over the course of the Parliament, the Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy Committee will examine the Government's Industrial Strategy and the effect it has on raising the UK's low productivity.
