Gavin Represents BCSECM at APPG on Critical Minerals, Palace of Westminster

Participant

Gavin engaged, on behalf of the Birmingham Centre for Strategic Elements and Critical Materials, with a meeting of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Critical Minerals at the Palace of Westminster. The meeting's theme was "Making Critical Minerals Work for the United Kingdom".

Gavin noted that, with the new UK Critical Materials Strategy awaited, the University of Birmingham Policy Commission report Securing Technology Critical Metals for Britain, chaired by Sir John Beddington, still contains a trove of policy recommendations, some of which it has been satisfying to see bear fruit.
