Our submission to the Treasury outlined the actions that can be taken to ensure that any recession is shallow and short-lived.

Updated 15 March: Last month, we submitted our six key asks for today’s Spring Budget. What we got was a “strong second act in the Chancellor’s plan for stability and growth.”
It was great to see the Government acknowledge our calls to:
- Reform the UK’s current childcare system to support parents through funding and entitlement to free hours.
- Help businesses provide better workplace assistance and policies – especially for employees with musculoskeletal and mental health conditions.
- Mitigate the impact of the planned corporation tax rise in April and end to the super-deduction by providing full capital expensing to firms.
And we’re looking forward to seeing Government’s next step on how the UK can capture green markets and enhance skills.
