Heseltine Review

Wednesday 31st October 2012 Written Statements

[The Chancellor of the Exchequer (Mr George Osborne)]

Today the right hon. the Lord Heseltine of Thenford CH presented his report to the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills and me, and a copy will be placed in the Libraries of both Houses. The Secretary of State and I would like to take this early opportunity to thank Lord Heseltine for producing a comprehensive, wide-ranging and thought-provoking report on how to bring Government and industry together. The Government will consider all of his recommendations carefully and will respond around the time of the autumn statement.
