As initiated at the Autumn Statement, the Government Chief
Scientific Adviser is reviewing existing rules and helping
develop a pro-innovation regulatory approach that allows the UK
to fulfil its ambition to become a science superpower and world
leader in key growth sectors.
The aim of the review is to establish the UK as the best
regulated economy in the world in key growth sectors, ensuring
that industry and investors have the certainty then need to drive
innovation, investment and growth through anticipating new
developments in emerging technologies.
In March, Sir published reviews on
digital technologies and green industries and the government
accepted both reports’ recommendations. Having taken up the role
of Government Chief Scientific Adviser in April 2023, Professor
Dame is continuing this work and
will soon publish reports on the Chancellor’s remaining three key
growth sectors: life sciences, creative industries and advanced
manufacturing.
Sir Peter Bazalgette has been appointed to support Professor Dame
on the creative industries
report, working directly with industry to identify barriers to
innovation and regulatory reforms that can help make the UK’s
creative industries the most exciting and enterprising in the
world.
Sir Peter Bazalgette is a television executive and producer. He
is co-chair of the Creative Industries Council, a non-executive
board member of the Department for Education, pro-chancellor of
