Cameron sets out strategy for economic growth

DAVID CAMERON set out the British government’s strategy for economic growth yesterday with a promise to “transform our economy” and make the coming decade the most entrepreneurial and dynamic in history.

In his first major speech since becoming Prime Minister, Cameron said his administration’s first priority was to “re-open Britain for business” and promised that Government would not be a “bystander” but would actively promote enterprise.

Warning that Britain stood at a “turning point” after years of heading in the wrong direction, he pledged to revive the country’s fortunes by cutting the deficit, liberalising markets, keeping taxes low, slashing red tape and supporting enterprise.
