British Growth Partnership

Question: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, whether his Department plans to publish annual monitoring reports on the economic impact of the British Growth Partnership.

Answer: The Department does not plan to publish annual monitoring reports on the economic impact of the British Growth Partnership (BGP). Instead, the British Business Bank will report the value of its stake in BGP through its public annual reporting and has commissioned an independent evaluation of BGP. An initial assessment, focusing on process and early delivery outcomes, is expected in 2027. An interim economic evaluation is expected to begin in late 2028, once sufficient time has passed for BGP’s outcomes and impacts to emerge.
