PM remarks at the National Economic Council: 30 October 2026
What was announced
Prime Minister Andy Burnham's remarks at the National Economic Council.
Key points, in the publisher's words
- I’ve got colleagues from the meeting just for the very opening part of the meeting, but you’re all very welcome to this meeting with the National Economic Council, with the First Ministers of Scotland and Wales, and colleagues as well.
- It’s a shame that we do not have colleagues from Northern Ireland, but obviously we’re working with them on the same agenda. And that agenda being: how do we get growth up to where we all want it to be? But not just any kind of growth, good growth in every postcode, and that means every postcode of Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England as well.
- So, looking forward to a really positive discussion with everybody about that today.
