	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/09/2023 answer text <p>The Chancellor has outlined his plans to boost private sector productivity and long-term economic growth with a package of measures under the ‘four Es’ of economic growth: Employment, Enterprise, Education, and Everywhere.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has introduced several fiscal measures to increase productivity. 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

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2020 answer text <p>We recognise that UK productivity is lower than some of our peers. But we must also recognise that we have a number of strengths that we should continue to build on. We are the world’s fifth largest economy. We have many of the best universities on earth, are one of the most attractive places in the world to do business and lead in many 21st-century technologies and innovations. Closing our productivity gap, which exists compared to other nations but also between regions in the UK, will be vital in unleashing the UK’s potential.</p><p> </p><p>We are committed to levelling up opportunity across all places in the UK. This means making sure that prosperity is shared across all our towns and cities. So far, we have announced a £5bn package of investment for buses and cycling, opened up a consultation on Freeports, and we’ve confirmed that we will proceed with HS2 to deliver essential North-South connectivity, greater capacity, and shorter journey times.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Steve Barclay question first answered 04/03/2020 15:53:14 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
