NORTH EAST ENGLAND CHAMBER OF COMMERCE RESPONSE TO CHANCELLOR’S SUMMER STATEMENT
Jonathan Walker, assistant director of policy, North East England Chamber of Commerce said: “We had called for an economic intervention that recognised the potential for this crisis to entrench regional disparities. The Chancellor’s statement contained a number of measures that will provide short-term boosts to parts of our economy, but we continue to be dismayed at the lack of detail when it comes to long-term action to ‘level up’ regions such as ours.
