PM: We are slashing unnecessary bureaucracy, giving business the confidence to invest, unlocking big infrastructure projects and supporting hardworking people to realise their dreams.

The Government is introducing new laws yesterday as part of a drive to support growth and ensure the country can compete globally. The laws are introduced on the day a leading British developer, Land Securities, announces it will proceed with an estimated £350 million scheme that will deliver 2,500 jobs as a result of Government changes to the planning system, introduced this week.

The new Growth and Infrastructure Bill brings together a range of measures that are expected unlock billions of pounds worth of investment and create thousands of jobs.
