It is important that we move the economic debate from deficit reduction to the need to improve the supply side of the UK economy so that the private sector can fill the gap created by partial retrenchment of the public sector. This supply side agenda should include issues such as: labour market deregulation, reduction in marginal tax rates, the creation of a more coherent tax system, liberalisation of planning, thinking again about saddling the financial services industry with additional taxes and regulation, welfare reform, public sector reform and a different approach to green issues. We have put together a panel discussion with leading experts who will take different angles on the need to improve the supply side of UK economy. All panellists have been asked to think beyond the bounds of the immediately politically possible!
