Andy Burnham: “Change starts with honesty.”

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

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.

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.

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.
