The House of Commons Treasury Committee plays a crucial role in scrutinising the UK’s economic policy and fiscal direction. With members bringing a wealth of experience across finance, public policy, and economic strategy, the committee provides vital checks and balances on government spending, taxation, and financial reforms. As the government shapes the future of the UK’s economic framework, the committee's diverse perspectives will continue to drive important debates on the country’s financial future.

One month on from Rachel Reeves' first budget, Labour have come under intense scrutiny from the business community for some of their policy choices. But Rud Pedersen Group Director, Andrew Clark, argues the business community isn't yet completely lost to Labour, they're just going to have to work a little bit harder to keep them on side.

Our transport experts Andrew Clark and Dave McCullough attended #Airlines2024 today! While Transport Secretary Louise Haigh sees her role as Britain's "passenger-in-chief", people may be surprised to hear that includes aviation too. She struck a positive tone on growth in the industry, telling airline chiefs "Britain's future growth depends on you" and "I want aviation to thrive in a net zero world". On the expansion of UK airports, the government's presumption will be in favour as long as proposals meet two objectives - economic growth and consistency with 2050 net zero objectives. There are going to be a lot of opportunities to engage with the government in this sector - reach out if you want a discussion on how to do that! londonoffice@rudpedersen.com

The UK’s energy transition is now front and centre for the Government, which has pledged bold investments and reforms to drive the sector forward. In scrutinising this mission to make the UK a clean energy superpower, members of the Energy Security and Net Zero Committee bring a range of perspectives. Some argue that environmental protection should guide policy, while others advocate for prioritising specific solutions, such as nuclear or wind energy. This mix of viewpoints sets the stage for a dynamic and potentially transformative debate in Parliament. #EnergySecurity #NetZero #UKPolitics

In the world of public affairs, there are a vast number of groups competing for the government's attention. One significant group is trade associations. Representing businesses by sector or issue, these groups have a powerful role to play in policy development and nobody is better to talk on this topic than our new colleague, Alexander Reeves, who joins directly from one of these trade associations.
