Britain Remade responds to the Budget

Responding to the Budget Sam Richards, CEO of pro-growth campaign group Britain Remade, said:

“The bleak growth forecast outlined by the Chancellor in her Budget shows why it is critical for the government to urgently introduce radical changes to the planning system. The only way we are going to get the growth we all want to see is by getting Britain building the clean infrastructure the country needs.

"More investment in infrastructure is overdue, but without bold reforms to our planning system Britain faces another lost decade. The Government should urgently set out the proposals for their planning bill to cut the red tape that holds back Britain's builders."
