“The Secretary of State has regular meetings with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in the course of carrying out his duties.

The IMF has predicted that 90% of future growth will come from outside the EU in the next 10-15 years. The UK needs to take advantage of this growth and position itself to ensure maximum prosperity for its people.”
