Jonathan Reynolds responds to Rishi Sunak scrapping the Industrial Strategy

Jonathan Reynolds MP, Labour’s Shadow Business Secretary, responding to Rishi Sunak scrapping the Industrial Strategy, said:

“Rishi Sunak’s decision to remove the Industrial Strategy from his Government’s priority list shows quite clearly that he has no plan to drive growth in our fantastic industries.

“Thirteen years of Government failure has left iconic British industries like steel in limbo and we are at risk of losing our edge in a range of sectors from car manufacturing to artificial intelligence. This is a Government out of ideas with nothing to offer British business.

“Labour’s Industrial Strategy will partner with business to drive economic growth across the country and keep good jobs in Britain for decades to come.”
