For example, we have introduced full expensing \u2013 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% \u2013 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>"}
