“Our Plan for Growth sets our path to invest in infrastructure, skills and innovation to build back better, whilst harnessing the strengths, resilience and creative spirit we’ve seen from businesses over the past year, so we can level up opportunity and prosperity across the country, eliminate our contribution to climate change and forge ahead as a truly Global Britain.” (Prime Minister Boris Johnson, 30 March 2021)
Join our virtual Policy Forum for a roundtable discussion on our Post-Lockdown Recovery. The discussion will begin at 6pm. The discussion paper can be downloaded from here. This event is free for Conservative Party Members but we would be most grateful for any donations.
The Chair of the Meeting will provide a summary of points discussed to the Central Party.
Questions for discussion
1) Would you support making particular activities such as (i) international travel, (ii) large events like football matches, or (iii) a return to certain workplaces, contingent on proof of vaccination or testing for SARS-CoV-2?
2) How do we exit lockdown in a way that helps to level-up the UK?
3) How do we rebuild communities, charities and our social fabric?
4) How do we help high streets to build back stronger than before?
5) How do we encourage people to get back onto public transport and into cities again?
6) How do we upskill and retrain those that have lost their jobs?
7) How do we balance support for the rapid return of the hospitality sector (e.g. pubs/restaurants) and arts sectors on the one hand with public health concerns on the other?
8) How might we celebrate those who have made extraordinary public contributions during the pandemic?
9) Is there any other observation you would like to make?
