The Industrial Strategy Council will be an independent body which is responsible for monitoring and advising the government on the delivery of the Industrial Strategy, through wide engagement with stakeholders and the development of a strong evidence base. The government will legislate to make this a statutory body. In the meantime, it will form an advisory council made up of leading figures with wide ranging experience, the membership of which will be announced in due course.
