Andy Burnham: “I will meet the climate challenge.”

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.

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.

So I can confirm today we will legislate to make sure that non-compete clauses will no longer be a barrier to hiring for our most promising start-ups and scaling firms.

This investment goes hand in hand with our plans for a National Care Service, helping ensure that people living with dementia get the care and support they need.
