It will continue to consider such issues when making public spending allocations.</p><p> </p><p>A key priority for this government is to make sure the economy works for the whole country, not just certain parts.

Looking ahead, the Government is developing an industrial strategy to drive productivity, create jobs, and ensure sustainable economic growth across the country.</p><p> </p><p>Our increases to the National Minimum Wage rate will benefit younger people, as will our actions to help young people get on the housing ladder.
