Government should focus on low productivity

Lord Bilimoria, the founder of Cobra beer and one of the signatories to the letter supporting Conservative economic policy, tells Channel 4 News the current economic climate is one in which business can flourish in, and Labour policies are “worrying”.

However former Morrisons Director Norman Pickavance says “this jobs miracle isn’t actually working in practice” as we have low productivity, despite low corporate tax levels. We need significant investment in training and skills, he adds.
