“This is an ambitious plan on investment, utilising public-private partnerships and with a welcome emphasis on the city regions. Our industry is already engaged through the work of our Investment Delivery Forum, seizing the opportunity to unlock £100bn to invest over the next decade.
“Crucially needed planning reforms, an emphasis on stability and a long-term industrial strategy will give certainty to investors at home and abroad. And streamlining our complex regulatory system will benefit the economy enabling businesses to invest and innovate.”
