Labour Party launches policy review

Date: 15th March 2011

Small businesses operating in the UK could be among those encouraged by the launch of a new review into job creation and enterprise growth.

'How Britain can lead the world in enterprise and skills and ensure no region is left behind', is the new policy review from the Labour Party and intends find a long-term strategy for growth in the UK.

According to the party, the need for economic growth and job creation in the UK is not just a short-term challenge.

John Denham, Labour's shadow business secretary, said: "Britain faces challenges and competition from an increasingly globalised world. It is no longer enough to simply be a decent place to do business.

"We want to see more businesses and jobs created, more people leading business and more people in business, in a growing economy. This means looking at our strengths, our comparative advantage and where we can lead the world, alongside the barriers and challenges."
