Shevaun Haviland, Director General of the BCC, said:
“It was encouraging to hear the Shadow Chancellor recognising the importance of finding a solution to the large number of inactive workers in our communities, especially the long-term sick.
“Actions he took while in Government, such as the introduction of full expensing, help on childcare and support for our planning fund, have previously demonstrated his understanding of key issues.
“We look forward to working more closely in the coming months on the mechanics of his broader vision, including support for green innovation, skills and the digital revolution.
“We would also like to hear more about how he would boost the UK’s international trading prospects. Growing the UK’s exports in both goods and services is critical to securing our economic future.”
