Details

The Plan for Growth, published alongside Budget 2011, and as part of Autumn Statement 2011, announced a programme of structural reforms to remove barriers to growth for businesses and equip the UK to compete in the global race. These reforms span a range of policies including improving UK infrastructure, cutting red tape, root and branch reform of the planning system and boosting trade and inward investment, to achieve the government’s 4 ambitions for growth:

  • creating the most competitive tax system in the G20
  • encouraging investment and exports as a route to a more balanced economy
  • making the UK the best place in Europe to start, finance and grow a business
  • creating a more educated workforce that is the most flexible in Europe
