I have just seen this....
I am with him 100%

But remember, what is true of business start ups is also true of longer established small businesses and even larger businesses. Give them the freedom they need, cut out a whole raft of government imposed costs, reduce the risks associated with giving employment, then businesses will grow, employ more people, generate more profit and through that pay more tax.
The converse is also true. Impose rules and red tape, create new laws mean't make those in work more secure and you will get less jobs, less growth and a moribund economy at best.

"OECD studies have shown that business start ups play a powerful role in economic growth."
How does this square with the promotion of competition via reform of non-compete clauses? How does robbing one successful (yet perhaps struggling) established business of key personal and then granting these so-called new start-ups tax and regulation holidays that the established trader and trainer cannot access?
There is mention of an increase in start-ups of 18,307 between 2010 and 2013, and talk of the 'aid' to these same start-ups lasting a maximum of two years...so how well has this performed over that (almost) three year period? Why so coy?
Employment tribunals:
Again much is made of headline figures, but how many of these cases involved SMEs?
"Currently, only around 10 per cent of tribunal awards are greater than average earnings," Nevertheless CE wishes to push on and reduce the possible costs of abuse. Perhaps there are two kinds of such actionable abuse just as they say there is good rape and bad rape?
Broadband
Really, one would think that fast broadband coverage could be more easily rolled out wherever there is access to a landline, but alas this idea has been sidelined by the 'tick-box' mentality, with the concentration of efforts (the more easy to achieve 'apparent' success) to provide wi-fi in city centres.
And magically, while many SMEs are far-off from populations there is ever a school nearby.
Again:Semblance over substance.
Ignorance is bliss, bliss is happiness, I am happy...to draw your attention to the possible connectivity in the foregoing.

No Keith...
Pay the market rate for the job
Enable the creation of more employment and therefore a better competitive market that will drive up the rate for the job.
Have reasonable and sensible H&S and not the excessive, oppressive and expensive idiocy we have now
That is what I really mean.

Keith has said what I really want.
Scrap the minimum wage.
People can walk out of a job when they choose, it should work both ways

That's the problem
david and barryw are probably close on what they want.
There have been many hard fought for conditions that barryw and david would throw out the window.

By this reasoning! surely employers should drive down the rate to the people who employ them?
Thus creating more employers and better markets for employers and more money to pay employees.
There's a hole in my bucket dear Liza.

You are not making sense there DT1.
You are a great teacher but you do clearly do not understand business or the markets.
