Deputy Prime Minister today delivered a rousing speech at the launch of a new report, Harnessing English Law for Economic Growth, highlighting the immense potential of English law to catalyze unprecedented economic expansion and prosperity across the UK.
Drawing on the report's findings, the Deputy PM emphasized that England's robust and globally respected legal framework represents a significant competitive advantage that can be strategically deployed to attract foreign investment, foster innovation, and drive business growth.

"By working together, we can unlock the full potential of English law as a powerful engine for growth, innovation, and prosperity," the Deputy PM said. "The rewards will be immense, not just for our economy, but for the UK's standing as a global leader in the 21st century."
