Description
The OBR confirms that policies announced at the Autumn Statement will increase economic growth. It estimates that the overall effect of these supply-side measures is to boost the size of the economy by 0.3% by the end of the forecast. The OBR’s forecast also reflects long-term demographic and technological changes. The OBR judges that as the population ages, individuals will work for fewer hours on average. Due to the higher proportion of intangible assets in the economy, it assumes capital is being retired at a faster rate than previously. These factors mean that, prior to the impact of policy measures, labour and capital are assumed to grow more slowly than before, which pulls down long-term growth. This further justifies the government’s continued focus on creating growth by boosting the supply side of the economy.
A crucial part of securing Britain’s prosperity for future generations is building a world-class education and skills system. Long-term investment in human capital is crucial for growth and productivity: changes in labour quality contributed to around 15% of growth in labour productivity between 2001 and 2007, and the majority of labour productivity growth in the years after. [footnote 177] This is why the government continues to make year on year increases to school funding in England, boost opportunities for adults to train, upskill and retrain, and, from 2025, transform the student finance system through the Lifelong Learning Entitlement. This is a global issue," he tells Sophy Ridge. "We're not the only country challenged with this. We obviously have particular issues in Ireland with people coming across that treacherous travel across the sea that we need to deal with. But it is a really challenging thing." The government is also creating more certainty for investors in low-carbon infrastructure by extending the critical national priority designation for nationally significant low-carbon energy projects. Alongside this, the government will look to remove unnecessary planning constraints by accelerating the expansion of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure and will consult on amending the National Planning Policy Framework to ensure the planning system prioritises the rollout of EV chargepoints, including EV charging hubs. It will also consult on introducing new permitted development rights to end the blanket restriction on heat pumps one metre from a property boundary in England. Together these measures will reduce delays and capitalise on the UK’s world-leading approach to decarbonising the economy. To incentivise compliance, the government will strengthen the Universal Credit sanctions regime. This will further enforce the government’s expectation that those who can work must engage with the support available or lose their benefits: The latest data for the three months to July shows there were around 300,000 people who had been unemployed for over a year: a fifth of the UK’s overall unemployed population. [footnote 76] The proportion of unemployed people out of work for over a year is significantly higher in the UK than the top performing countries in the OECD. [footnote 77]These tax cuts are part of the government’s long-term strategy for growing the economy and getting more people into work, ensuring that the UK has the labour market it needs for its future. The OBR forecast these changes will increase the number of people in employment by 28,000 by 2028-29, alongside a further substantial economic benefit from those in work increasing their hours. span itemprop="name">Hours of non stop fun that is engaging![This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My little one has absolutely loved this! Engagement for hours, and not just on the first day of use - lov elove that! Love how this toy also promotes speech development by speaking and engaging little ones with basic language and singing to them. HIghly recommend for little ones who also need more proprioceptive and vestibular input as a means to motivate speech.
Capital DEL that does not form part of Public Sector Gross Investment in Capital DEL, including Financial Transactions in Capital DEL, intragovernmental leases, and Scottish Government capital. The UK will take a different approach, continuing to build a positive environment for investment via cross-cutting measures such as full expensing, supported by targeted funding where justified to bolster the UK’s attractiveness as a place to start, grow and invest in manufacturing businesses.The government is making changes to simplify ISAs and provide more choice, meaning it will be easier for people to choose the best ISA accounts for their needs and move money between them. This involves digitalising the ISA reporting system to make it more effective, as well as expanding the investment opportunities available in ISAs to include Long-Term Asset Funds and open-ended property funds with extended notice periods. Fostering a dynamic and innovative investment economy Supporting the UK’s scientists and innovators Permanent full expensing, including the 50% first-year allowance for special rate assets, will give companies certainty to plan long-term investments. This applies across the economy, including to the UK’s capital intensive green industries such as solar and offshore wind, which will also benefit from a new investment exemption from the Electricity Generator Levy. Permanent full expensing also provides further support for companies that want to decarbonise by investing in solar panels and heat pumps, and for companies that want to invest in newer, greener plant and machinery. Alongside its focus on fiscal sustainability the government continues to support the MPC in its action to bring inflation down to the 2% target. The government has published the remit for the MPC alongside Autumn Statement, to reaffirm that the MPC’s target of price stability is defined as 2% CPI inflation, which applies at all times. In October 2023, the Prime Minister announced a strong action plan to ensure every student has the literacy and numeracy skills they need to thrive through the introduction of the Advanced British Standard. This new Baccalaureate-style qualification will bring the best of A-Levels and T-Levels together, creating a unified structure that puts technical and academic education on equal footing. This reform will ensure every student in England studies some form of maths and English to age 18, boosting basic skills and bringing the UK in line with international peers. It will increase the number of taught hours by 15% for most students aged 16 to 19 and will broaden the number of subjects students take. Following the passage of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 in July, the government continues to take steps to ensure the UK maintains and enhances its world-leading financial services regulatory environment. The government repealed over 100 pieces of unnecessary retained EU law earlier this year. [footnote 145] As part of the Edinburgh Reforms, the government committed to making significant progress in building a Smarter Regulatory Framework tailored to the UK by the end of the year. The government is delivering on this promise by soon laying key legislation, and publishing drafts of other legislation being progressed. Given the global interconnectedness of the financial system, the government also continues to work closely with its international partners through the Financial Stability Board and other fora to establish and maintain high global standards and to mitigate risks to financial stability.
So we know from experience our event can be a win-win addition to the election process without in any way competing with the RNC’s debates. It’s just a completely different format and kind of event,” Zahn said. span itemprop="name">Great letter go round
