Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said the government listened to businesses’ concerns about energy costs and skills shortages.”Tackling energy costs and fixing skills has been the single biggest ask of us from businesses and the greatest challenge they’ve faced – this government has listened, and now we’re taking the bold action needed,” Reynolds said.
Reynolds added, “Government and business working hand in hand to make working people better off is what this government promised and what we will deliver.”
Rain Newton-Smith, chief executive of the CBI, described the industrial strategy proclamation as “a significant leap forward in the partnership between government and business” that sets the nation on a path to raising living standards.
She added that the strategy “sends an unambiguous, positive signal about the nation’s global calling card as well as the direction of travel for the wider economy for the next decade and beyond.”
Newton-Smith noted that more competitive energy prices, fast-tracked planning decisions, and backing innovation will provide a foundation for growth. However, she cautioned that “the global race to attract investment will require a laser-like and unwavering focus on the UK’s overall competitiveness.”
