King Charles recently delivered his first speech introducing the government’s plan for the future.
Labour have proposed 39 bills looking at a mass reform of the UK economy.. The bills cover a vast area of topics, the key ones being: economy, infrastructure, sustainability and global investment.
“Securing economic growth will be a fundamental mission. My Government will seek a new partnership with both business and working people and help the country move on from the recent cost of living challenges by prioritising wealth creation for all communities. My ministers will establish an Industrial Strategy Council. It is my Government’s objective to see rising living standards in all nations and regions in the United Kingdom.
My ministers will get Britain building, including through planning reform, as they seek to accelerate the delivery of high quality infrastructure and housing. They will also pursue sustainable growth by encouraging investment in industry, skills and new technologies”.
With talk of banning zero-hour contracts alongside implementing a race equality bill - an extension of the Equality Act- to include ethnic minority workers and people with disabilities more rights, the government are clearly planning to make head-way on making workplaces a more equal and a greener place to be.
