Securing Economic Growth
Issue- The UK economy has returned to growth.
Key points
- We are confident but cautious about the economy. We must secure growth - not choke off recovery by cutting support now.
- It was right to support families and the economy - sustaining jobs by giving businesses time to pay; introducing a car scrappage scheme; and stepping up help for people to stay in their homes and find new work.
- We need to continue supporting the economy to strengthen the recovery and promote growth and jobs. We will halve the deficit over four years, but it would be a huge mistake to cut support while the economy is still recovering.
