Speaker 1: (00:00) Thank you, by the way, everybody, for all your good work yesterday, which was a very important day, because we are able now to draw a line under the issues that our opponents want to talk about. And we are able to get on with talking about what I think the people in this country want us talking about, which is what we are doing to help them and to take the country forward. Speaker 1: (00:21) And there were huge investments that we're making. Huge, but it's not enough just to spend money. You've got to spend it wisely. And we, as conservatives and conservative ministers, have got to make sure that at every stage we are driving reform and driving value. So what I'm going to ask you all to do in each of your departments is make sure that you are thinking the whole time about cutting the costs of government, about cutting the costs that business has to face. And of course cutting the costs that everybody else faces, families up and down the country. And I think if we go forward with that approach, continuing to unite and level up, which is a magnificent agenda, totally the right agenda for the country, but also driving supply side reform, driving improvement, we will start to see huge, huge changes, beneficial changes in our economy.
