What’s the Plan? A Look at the Government's Industry Strategy

Business leaders – and former business secretaries – are asking if the government has a long-term vision for British industry. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak is promising £18 billion of green investment as a coup from his trip to the G-7 summit. Bloomberg EMEA News director Rosalind Mathieson and UK political reporter Ellen Milligan brief us on the world leaders' agenda. But with questions over the coming strategy for semiconductors, competing with American subsidies, and dealing with strikes, does the government have a plan? We talk to UK Transport Secretary Mark Harper, and new director general of the scandal-hit Confederation of British Industry Rain Newton-Smith tells us what she wants to see from policymakers. Hosted by Caroline Hepker and Lizzy Burden.
