Growth

Asked if the Prime Minister would be doing anything on growth the following day, the PMS referred the Lobby to the growth announcements made that day. Asked if the Prime Minister had seen the growth figures due to be published the next day, the PMS explained that the normal arrangements for official statistics were in place. Asked for the Prime Minister’s opinion on the announcements that morning on the Regional Growth Fund and plans to get growth into, the PMS said that they were an important part of helping the economy to get into growth. The Regional Growth Fund is important to help leverage private investment into small- and medium-sized businesses and the Deputy Prime Minister had been setting out the second round announcement that day. Furthermore the announcements the Prime Minister had made that day demonstrated the fact that we are trying to unblock some of the decisions which are still waiting to be made on things like large infrastructure projects and that more announcements could be expected in the coming weeks. Asked what action the Prime Minster had taken to unblock progress with two power plants in Yorkshire which were part of the announcement, the PMS clarified that we had looked at decisions still waiting to be made and prioritised those that will help the economy. She explained that those two power plants would bring a number of jobs to the region. Asked what sort of blockages these could be, the PMS said this could be issues like planning permission but directed the Lobby to individual Departments for details of projects.
