itemprop=description content=Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves will promise planning reforms to make it easier to build critical infrastructure.
Labour will revamp the UK’s “antiquated” planning system to boost the economy and modernise creaking infrastructure, Rachel Reeves will say.
She will say voters face the choice of “five more years of the Tory chaos and uncertainty, which has left working people worse off or a changed Labour Party ready to strengthen Britain’s foundations, so working people are better off”. Ms Reeves will say decision times for major infrastructure projects have increased by 65% since 2012, now taking four years, she will say, promising a “once-in-a-generation” set of reforms to speed this up.
Ms Reeves is expected to say: “If we want to spur investment, restore economic security and revive growth, then we must get Britain building again.
