The solution will come through developing skills & innovation.

In November, the Department for Education formed a "Productivity and Skills Board". It has no cross-membership with the Industrial Strategy Council, and makes no reference to the latter's work. The "Skills and Productivity Board" has no representative from FE.
It's 200 yards from the Department of Education @educationgovuk to the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy @beisgovuk. It might as well be a million miles.
We won't solve our productivity problem unless we think about skills and innovation together.
