Today the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Rachel Reeves, delivered the UK's Spending Review, setting out budgets for government departments over the next three years. CLG UK provided a rapid reaction to the contents of the Spending Review.
Bev Cornaby, Director, UK Corporate Leaders Group, said:
"Business welcomes the UK government’s focus in the Spending Review on investment in new low carbon infrastructure, including new announcements on energy generation and transport. It is important that policies across government are aligned in the short term and processes don’t slow down delivery but enable the building of an increasingly sustainable, prosperous and resilient economy.
In a challenging global context, it is more important than ever that the UK government demonstrate leadership on implementation of its climate targets, sending clear signals to business to unlock action."
