Heseltine Review

"In March, the Prime Minister asked me to report to the Chancellor and the Business Secretary on how we might more effectively create wealth in the UK .  It has been a privilege to take on this task.

I have spent the last seven months talking to a great variety of people from business, central and local government, academia and elsewhere about the issues we face, and steps we can take to make our economy work better. I have travelled to all parts of the UK .  What I have found is a hunger for ideas, a scepticism of the isolated initiative, and an appetite to consider radical proposals which will make a difference, long term.

This report sets out my suggestions.  They are entirely my own.  They are based on a better harnessing of business, central government and local leadership to drive wealth creation.  Some are radical.  Some will invite criticism.  But they need to be weighed against the backdrop of the scale of the international competitive challenge.  We cannot afford to stand still.

I hope publication of the report will spark a mature debate on the issues raised." 

The Rt Hon the Lord Heseltine of Thenford CH
