On Monday, Kemi Badenoch re-shuffled her shadow cabinet and announced the creation of a Conservative Economic Unit led by Andrew Griffith MP, Claire Coutinho MP and Richard Fuller MP. Together they will be focused on building a stronger economy.
The Team has real business experience and will set out the Conservatives plan for growth, higher living standards and fiscal credibility.
Andrew Griffith, is a no-nonsense, pro-growth Shadow Chancellor; Claire Coutinho will be Andrew's deputy across the economic brief, as well as Shadow Business Secretary, and will make sure growth translates into higher living standards. Richard Fuller, as Shadow Chief Secretary to the Treasury, will be focused on fiscal discipline and the savings work which underpins the economic programme.
Richard Fuller MP said:
I am delighted to be part of such a great team under Kemi’s leadership.
The Conservative Party once again leads public confidence on economic policy.
My friend and colleague, Mel Stride MP, has given us a great start by championing the Conservative principle of fiscal responsibility.
I believe high levels of tax on incomes, energy and prices add to cost of living pressures. We must look to improve productivity in our public services so that we can be sure that every penny of taxes raised is spent wisely. This is my prime mission now and galvanised by my desire to ensure the best possible start for future generations.
