To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is taking to (a) encourage domestic investment and (b) raise productivity in the manufacturing sector.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps his Department is taking to (a) encourage domestic investment and (b) raise productivity in the manufacturing sector.
Through our Industrial Strategy, we will make sure that we are using all the tools we have to boost local growth, encouraging domestic investment and productivity.
We need credible long-term strategies to help local economies, which is what local industrial strategies will do. Based on rigorous analysis, they will identify local strengths, future opportunities and the action needed in each area to boost productivity and competiveness.
We will increase the National Productivity Investment Fund from £8 billion to £31billion and extending it to 2022-23. We are launching an action plan to unlock over £20 billion of patient capital investment to finance growth in innovative firms over 10 years. As part of this, we will establish a new £2.5 billion Investment Fund in the British Business Bank. We are increasing R&D tax credits for large businesses from 11% to 12% from January 2018, as part of the drive to increase R&D investment to 2.4% by 2027.
We will invest a further £725m in a second wave of the Industrial Strategy Challenge Fund across the UK to respond to some of the greatest global challenges and opportunities and support sector productivity. We are also continuing to support the High Value Manufacturing Catapults, which we have invested £300 million over the past 5 years, to support commercialisation of the innovation of new technologies that will be crucial to UK manufacturing success.
The new Industrial Strategy Council will be tasked with taking a long term view and will be responsible for putting the right evaluation and reporting structures in place to assess the progress of our Industrial Strategy.

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the safety, health and productivity of workplaces in the UK are maintained after the UK leaves the EU.
To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what steps his Department is taking to ensure that the safety, health and productivity of workplaces in the UK are maintained after the UK leaves the EU.
The Government has given a very clear commitment to protect workers’ rights as the United Kingdom leaves the European Union. This includes health and safety in the workplace. The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 has led to the United Kingdom having one of the best records on health and safety at work in the world. We see no reason why this should change as the country leaves the EU.
The Government’s ambitious and modern Industrial Strategy sets out a long-term plan that will enable the UK to work more productively and boost the earning power of people, businesses, places and the nation as a whole.

In deploying the substantial new resources for counter-terrorism, does the Minister agree that the police should include a strong focus on cyber-crime because of the harm and disruption that terrorists could do with this form of activity?

I thank my right hon. Friend for making that point. If there is a powerful symbol of the change in the pattern of demand on policing, it is how much crime is now digitally enabled. We know from our constituencies how vulnerable our constituents are; they are many times more...
