Ambitious plan by Government almost certain to become part of general election manifesto

The Government’s national enterprise policy which was announced yesterday is almost certain to become part of its general election manifesto next spring.

It is a hugely ambitious programme that includes a commitment to increasing employment by 220,000 over the next five years.

In a very real way, though, governments do not create jobs. That is done by business people, workers and entrepreneurs. They are the real wealth creators.
