Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord McFall of Alcluith (Labour). It was answered by Baroness Wilcox (Conservative) on Tuesday, 11 October 2011.


Economy: Growth

Question
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to develop a growth strategy.
Answer

My Lords, the simple answer is that this Government already have a strategy. The Plan for Growth, published alongside Budget 2011, set out the Government’s plan to put the UK on a path to sustainable, long-term economic growth. As my right honourable friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer reiterated last week, we have a credible plan to reduce the deficit and tackle our debts. We are creating the right conditions to enable growth which is driven by investment and exports and is more evenly balanced across the UK and the sectors.
