Lack of support denting prospects for UK computer chip sector, say MPs

Call for semiconductor industry plan to be published urgently to help keep Britain in global supply chain

The UK is missing out on a wave of investment and falling behind other countries in the fast-growing semiconductor industry because of a lack of support from the government, MPs have warned.

The government should urgently publish a long-delayed semiconductor strategy, and also look to create partnerships with allies to try to ensure the UK remains part of the semiconductor supply chain, according to a report published on Monday by MPs on parliament's business committee.
