Following the initial question, Luke Murphy elaborates on his constituents' priorities of increasing living standards and improving public services, which depend on economic growth.
How will the reforms to the civil service set out by the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister earlier this year, including on the national school of government, help drive economic growth and meet my constituents' priorities. Two of the things my constituents care most about are increasing their living standards and improving their public services, and both depend on economic growth.
The Government are already working to improve living standards for individuals and families in his constituency and across the UK. The civil service plays a crucial role in ensuring that we continue to deliver on this issue. The national school of government will ensure that we nurture talent, give opportunities to more communities outside London, and have the people with the best skills to deliver on our priorities.
