Proceeding contribution from Stephen Hammond (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 January 2017. It occurred during Debate on Charter for Budget Responsibility.


Charter for Budget Responsibility

The Chancellor is right to place productivity at the centre of the economic problem, and the productivity fund will undoubtedly be helpful in infrastructure. Another challenge is to get the corporate sector back into investing. The factory of which my hon. Friend the Member for Lichfield (Michael Fabricant) spoke is a new one with new technology. Surely, one of the lessons that we can learn from his experience is that getting corporates to invest will boost productivity, and I wonder what measures the Chancellor is hoping to bring forward in that area.
