answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/02/2020 answer text <p>Labour productivity in the UK is just 2.4% above its pre-crisis peak. Productivity growth has slowed globally since the crisis but in the UK this slowdown has been more pronounced - across the G7 productivity growth has slowed from 1.9% per year in the decade to 2007 to just 0.8% since. In the UK, by comparison, it has fallen from 2.3% pre crisis to 0.3% since. To level up growth we will continue to invest responsibly including increased investment in infrastructure - connecting the country and businesses by road, rail and broadband and committing to our target of 2.4% of GDP being spend on R&amp;D. We will also continue to invest in people – our greatest asset – levelling up skills and opportunity by creating a new national skills fund.</p> answering member constituency Middlesbrough South and East Cleveland answering member printed Mr Simon Clarke question first answered 13/02/2020 12:41:57 answering member 4655 label Biography information for Sir Simon Clarke
