But reducing the tax burden is just one small part of our plan. We are also going to accelerate 100 major infrastructure projects through new legislation to get Britain building again. We are going to create Investment Zones across the UK, with an unprecedented set of tax incentives and liberalised planning rules for business to invest, build, and create jobs. And over the coming weeks, the Government will set out a whole series of supply-side reforms to remove those stubborn barriers that have held the British economy back for years.
Attracting global talent will drive productivity and innovation. Reducing business red tape will let companies grow and create jobs. And we know the rising cost of childcare can be a barrier to people re-joining the labour market – a waste of talent and a drain on our productivity.
Even in the face of extreme volatility in global markets, with major currencies wrestling an incredibly strong US dollar, we will show financial markets and investors that our plan is sound, credible and will work to drive growth.
By combining our immediate energy support with bold action to reset the fundamentals of the UK economy, we are helping households and businesses today – and putting the United Kingdom on a more prosperous, competitive path for years to come.
