00:00Before we came into office, the Prime Minister and I have said loud and clear
00:06economic growth is the number one mission of this government. Without growth
00:12we cannot cut hospital waiting lists or put more police on the streets. Without
00:18growth we cannot meet our climate goals or give the next generation the
00:22opportunities that they need to thrive. But most of all, without economic growth
00:28we cannot improve the living standards of ordinary working people. Because
00:34growth isn't simply about lines on a graph, it's about the pounds in people's
00:40pockets, the vibrancy of our high streets and the thriving businesses that create
00:46wealth, jobs and new opportunities for us, for our children and grandchildren. We
00:53will have succeeded in our mission when working people are better off. I know
01:00that the cost of living crisis is still very real for many families across
01:05Britain. The sky-high inflation and interest rates of the past few years
01:10have left a deep mark, with too many people still making sacrifices to pay
01:16the bills and to pay their mortgages.
