LABOUR’S new industrial strategy is a “golden opportunity” to transform the economy but must have real money behind it, unions said today. 

The government published a green paper opening a consultation process on its 10-year plan at its inaugural International Investment Summit.

Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said: “Our modern industrial strategy will hardwire stability for investors and give them the confidence to plan not just for the next year, but for the next 10 years and beyond.”
