“ Businesses have to manage their finances carefully every single day,” he said.“ We make decisions about investment, overheads, productivity and the return we expect from the money we spend.”
“ We would like to see that same determination applied to public spending. The government has a responsibility to ensure taxpayers’ money is being used effectively and that public services deliver value.”
“ We should be encouraging that ambition. A business that grows successfully creates jobs, purchases goods and services from suppliers, invests in its local economy and generates additional tax revenue.”
“ That is how we build a stronger economy and a broader tax base over time.”
“ Britain needs a growing economy with successful businesses, well-paid employees and sustainable public finances. Those objectives should work together.”
Aston also believes the Chancellor should consider the wider economic consequences of policies affecting entrepreneurship, investment and the rewards associated with building successful businesses.
“ People who take risks, establish companies and invest their own money are making an important contribution to the economy,” he added.
