Rachel Reeves

Labour — Leeds West and Pudsey

Speaking in the House of Commons on 14 January 2025

Debate

UK-China Economic and Financial Dialogue

Contribution

Growth is the No. 1 mission of this Labour Government, but the truth is that it is not possible to turn things around quickly after 14 years of lacklustre growth and declining living standards under the Conservatives. We are leaving no stone unturned, which is why last week in China we secured £600 million-worth of tangible benefits for the UK economy, helping great British businesses exporting overseas.
