MediaResponding to the Budget, Sam Richards, CEO of pro-growth campaign group Britain Remade, said:
“The shambles surrounding the launch of this miserable Budget should not distract from the Government’s abject failure to deliver their number one priority: economic growth.
“Today the Chancellor yet again talked up planning reforms and failed to deliver them. Just this week the Government’s own Nuclear Regulatory Taskforce spelled out exactly how to cut costs and accelerate new nuclear - yet the Chancellor kicked their report into the long grass. This simply isn’t good enough. It is hard to know whether the root of their failure to do what they say is cowardice, ineptitude, or outright dishonesty - but we are all footing the bill.”
