Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 January 2025

Debate

Public Finances: Borrowing Costs

Contribution

My Lords, the growth of which the Minister speaks will need investment and, given the state of the public finances, a significant proportion of that investment has to come from the private sector. In my experience, that sort of investment requires not just a realistic analysis of the present but a persuasive picture of the future. The Minister has rehearsed the analysis of the present, but does he agree that the Government have to step up and better articulate their vision of the future in order to attract the investment that this country so desperately needs?
