He adds that a Budget focusing on helping businesses, rather than holding them back, is absolutely essential.
This means delivering a Budget that:
- Avoids unaffordable taxes.
- Takes a pragmatic approach to making necessary changes to the Employment Rights Bill.
- Supports flexible work.
- Improves public sector recruitment by tackling the higher costs the anti-agency push in the NHS is driving into the system.
