This is an ambitious commitment\; how would a Labour Government go about achieving it? This panel will explore Labour’s partnership model for delivering economic growth and its implications for UK Plc. The event has the potential to cover a variety of themes\, including:\n• Supporting Investment: The UK has a chronic problem with low investment. How would Labour go about addressing this? How will the proposed National Wealth Fund support businesses and industry grow across the UK? How will British taxpayers benefit?\n• Financial Services: The UK’s financial service sector is one of economy’s greatest strengths. How would the Labour Party build on the recent Edinburgh reforms and get insurance investments and pension wealth working more productively? \n• Skills: How would Labour seek to upskill the UK workforce? Would it continue / expand / improve schemes like Help to Grow? What specific support would it provide for medium-sized firms\, who have particular challenges in terms of upscaling? \n• (Regional) inequality: How does the question of inequality fit into Labour’s growth agenda? And how will efforts to alleviate inequality aid\, rather than hinder\, growth? What\, moreover\, would the future of the levelling up agenda be under a Labour Government? \n• Regulation: Small businesses in particular worry about the burdens of regulatory compliance. How would a Labour Government seek to make life easier for the UKs SME sector? What about planning reform?\n\nSpeakers\n• Tulip Siddiq MP\, Shadow Economic Secretary to the Treasury\n• Sonia Brown\, Vice President of Government Engagement and Regulatory Policy\, Visa Europe\n• Kitty Ussher\, Chief Economist\, Institute of Directors\n• Lord Wood of Anfield\, former Shadow Minister without Portfolio\n• Dr James Vitali\, Head of Political Economy\, Policy Exchange (Chair)\n\nLineup is subject to change.
