Answer

When developing their Local Growth Plans, Mayoral Strategic Authorities should have regard to our published guidance, which states that plans should be informed by and help to deliver the Industrial Strategy, and highlight links to support growth-driving sectors including Defence.

The government continues to work with Mayoral Strategic Authorities to identify and co-agree shared priorities to guide the development of Local Growth Plans and underpin decision-making once these are in place.
