Economic growth is the first mission of this government, driving up prosperity and living standards across the UK. We are prioritising long-term productivity growth.

For example, the Government is committed to reducing the administrative costs of regulation on firms by 25% by the end of the Parliament and has set out reforms to achieve this.
