正文(英文) | Government writes open letter to businesses on Plan for GrowthPrime Minister Boris Johnson looks forward to a year of economic recovery at the second meeting of the Build Back Better Business Council as Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng write an open letter to businesses on the Government’s Plan for Growth. The joint letter between Chancellor Rishi Sunak and Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng sets out the key pillars of investment that the government will focus on as we build back better from the pandemic, create jobs and drive forward key government priorities. This month’s Budget helps to get businesses of all sizes back on their feet, with the roadmap setting the country’s course for cautiously reopening society and the economy and enabling many businesses to re-open. The Plan for Growth looks ahead, building on the best of the Industrial Strategy set out in 2017 and refreshing the government’s long term strategy for growth in light of a new economic landscape, including the pandemic, our net zero target and our new place on the world stage as an independent nation outside the EU. The letter comes ahead of the second meeting of the Prime Minister’s Build Back Better Business Council today (30 March 2021), which will be one of the ways that the government engages with business to drive forward the Plan for Growth. There, they will discuss how to make 2021 the ‘year of economic recovery’. Ahead of the second meeting of the Build Back Better Business Council, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:
The joint letter from the Chancellor and Business Secretary says:
The government is still taking forward the best elements of the Industrial Strategy, including continuation of existing Sector Deals. The letter goes on to say:
Today’s Council meeting will particularly look at the innovation pillar of the Plan for Growth and discuss the government’s upcoming Innovation Strategy, due to be published this Summer. The development of new ideas, products and processes, and unlocking the finance to pursue these, will put the UK at the forefront of new opportunities for growth and will be crucial to delivering key priorities such as transitioning to net zero by 2050. Today, the government has announced over £30 million will be invested towards pioneering research studies into battery technology, electric vehicles and hydrogen vehicles. The UK has already made great strides in scaling up the electric vehicle market and setting out an ambitious commitment to phase out of the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2030. More sustainable and reliable batteries for electric vehicles will help ensure they can run longer journeys more efficiently, supporting the market to develop and expand further, bringing down costs, and encouraging more households to make the switch. Studies backed with over £9 million today will look at the development of a plant to extract lithium to use in electric vehicle batteries, the construction of a factory to build specialised magnets for electric vehicle motors, and the suitability of lightweight hydrogen storage for cars and vans. The government-backed Faraday Institution is also committing £22.6 million to continue its work to further improve the safety, reliability and sustainability of batteries. Notes to editorsThis latest round of studies funded through the Automotive Transformation Fund:
The Faraday institution will use today’s funding to explore:
