Open Letter to the Prime Minister

The Institution’s President Professor Joe McGeough is one of 39 signatories to an open letter from the National Engineering Policy Centre to the Prime Minister setting out the Centre's key priorities for the new government and Parliament, making recommendations in five key areas published in its manifesto: skills, innovation, digital, infrastructure, and energy and climate change.

The Institution is one of the founder members of the Policy Centre which is a partnership of 39 of the UK’s professional engineering bodies collectively representing 450,000 engineers.

The letter notes that the Conservative manifesto included policies highlighted in the Policy Centre’s own engineering priorities, including investment in research, innovation, economic infrastructure and improving digital connectivity.
