London: Britain’s new government, under Prime Minister Keir Starmer, is set to introduce more than 35 bills as part of its agenda for the upcoming parliamentary year, emphasizing economic growth as a cornerstone, according to statements from Starmer’s office.
Having secured a decisive victory for his Labour Party, ending 14 years of Conservative rule, Starmer aims to prioritize stability, economic expansion, and nationwide prosperity.
Legislative highlights include proposals for stringent spending regulations and enhanced oversight by the independent Office of Budget Responsibility, ensuring thorough scrutiny of major fiscal decisions.
“Our work is urgent. There is no time to waste,” Starmer asserted upon his return from the NATO summit, marking his inaugural international engagement as Prime Minister. “We are hitting the ground running by bringing forward the laws we will need to rebuild our country for the long-term – and our ambitious, fully costed agenda is the downpayment on that change.”
