My ministers will establish an industrial strategy council. It is my Government’s objective to see rising living standards in all nations and regions in the United Kingdom.

My ministers will also legislate to restrict advertising of junk food to children along with the sale of high caffeine energy drinks to children. A draft bill will be brought forward to ban conversion practices.
