Andy Burnham: “My government will deliver the fastest prison building programme since the Victorian era and do what’s necessary to fix…”

I want Britain to be the country that makes the breakthrough and delivers the cure for dementia the world has been waiting for.

If the UK wants to build global companies, we need to be globally competitive. To do that, we cannot have Britain's start-ups simply sell up.

I believe some businesses have gone too far in their use of restrictive practices such as non-compete clauses, a view I know shared by many in this room and across the sector.

We will do what we can to request that the right steps are being taken, and that’s the approach we’ll take.
