The Prime Minister this week published a plan for Building Britain's Future. Our
plan is based on three clear priorities:
- Putting Britain firmly on the path to recovery and seizing future opportunities for
economic growth.
- Building on the improvements made in schools, hospitals and policing and modernising
our national infrastructure.
- Cleaning up politics and renewing our democracy.
As a first step, the Labour Government has made a number of commitments to the British
people.
- We will not lose another generation to work. Every young person who has been out
of work for a year will have to take a job, training or work experience place.
- Patients will get enforceable entitlements to the highest standards of health care.
- Parents will be guaranteed an education individually tailored to their child, including
a personal tutor for every pupil and 1-1 tuition for all those who need it.
- We will give local people more power to keep their neighbourhoods safe, including
the right to hold the police to account at monthly beat meetings, to have a say on
CCTV and a vote on how offenders pay back the community.
- An extra £1.5 bn will be invested in 20,000 affordable homes over the next two years.
This housing investment package will also create an estimated 45,000 additional jobs
in the construction and related industries.
- A new, more active industrial policy to drive growth and create the high value jobs
of the future with investment in low carbon technologies, digital, life sciences
and advanced manufacturing.
