For example, we have introduced full expensing – giving the UK the most generous capital allowances regime in the OECD on a Net Present Value basis to increase business investment and boost labour productivity. We increased the R&amp;D Expenditure Credit relief rate to 20% – the joint highest uncapped headline rate of R&amp;D tax relief in the G7 for large companies.</p><p> </p><p>We are supporting our world leading green industries. For example, up to £20bn of funding has been provided for Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage, and we are working with investors through our Automotive Transformation Fund to build a globally competitive electric vehicle supply chain in the UK. Furthermore, the Investment Zones programme will catalyse 12 high potential knowledge-intensive growth clusters across the UK.</p><p> </p><p>We are also ensuring our labour market is more productive through our investment in skills and the Chief Secretary is currently leading a programme across government to identify the most ambitious ways to improve productivity in the public sector.</p><p>.</p> answering member constituency Grantham and Stamford answering member printed Gareth Davies question first answered 12/09/2023 12:36:54 answering member 4850 label Biography information for Gareth Davies
