Output per worker was approximately 2.2% higher in 2015 compared to 2008, according to the Office for National Statistics. On an output per hour basis, productivity was 1.7% higher in 2015 compared to 2008.<\/p>

Increasing productivity growth remains one of the key economic challenges for this Parliament. The government\u2019s \u2018Fixing the Foundations\u2019 productivity plan sets out the ambitious vision and pro-productivity agenda that the government is working on to meet the productivity challenge that most advanced economies face.<\/p>

The productivity plan can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/fixing-the-foundations-creating-a-more-prosperous-nation<\/a><\/p>

As the plan notes, every part of government is contributing to this ambition; and the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills is working across Whitehall to ensure that the reforms set out in the plan are delivered with urgency and pace.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/3938", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Anna Soubry"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Broxtowe"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Anna Soubry"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-04-20", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-04-20T15:03:03.867Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "26"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Innovation and Skills"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Business, Innovation and Skills"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-04-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Productivity"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what steps he is taking to increase productivity to levels recorded in 2008.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1400", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Kevin Brennan"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Cardiff West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Kevin Brennan"} ], "uin" : "33842"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/511273", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Innovation and Skills"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/511273/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
