the next steps in the Commons.
They discussed a range of opportunities and policy
issues that are critical to these industries and spoke

will improve the productivity and competitiveness of
companies of all sizes across the UK.
Areas of discussion included skills and training, both
in the workplace and in education, and the role of
technology in improving productivity, infrastructure
