“Investment for the wider UK must not come at the expense of the capital.”
LCCI’s CEO, Karim Fatehi OBE, has responded to the reform of the Treasury’s Green Book, as reported in The Standard, which will reshape how public investment decisions are made across the country.
While welcoming a fairer approach to public investment, Karim stressed that fairness must work for London too. London is the UK’s economic engine, and unlocking its full potential is essential to any serious growth agenda. Ensuring the capital receives sufficient public investment will help underpin prosperity not just in London, but across the whole country.
LCCI will continue to make the case for policies that support London’s businesses and enable the capital to continue driving UK growth.
