00:00This council is a statement of intent on my behalf and on behalf of the government
00:06about the way in which we want to work with all of you and I think that is as important as the
00:13substance of what we discuss. We are better when we
00:17face our challenges together and take our opportunities together
00:20and I think by collaborating and coordinating in ways like this we can all
00:26deliver better and in each of our capacities. We've got
00:31hundreds of investors from across the country coming in. The area in Heathrow is happy to be expanded tomorrow
00:38as they all arrive in for this investment summit.
00:41But that you know is an example of the great interest there is at the moment in the United Kingdom
00:47with discussion about how that works across the whole of the United Kingdom.
