Rachel Anderson, assistant director of policy at the North East Chamber of Commerce, said:
“Investment in better transport connections, particularly in the North, is welcome. We would very much hope to see backing for the Leamside Line in the proposed Network North bill, and need to see this backed up by fast action. It’s vital this essential piece of infrastructure is finally delivered.
“We welcome the strengthening of technical and vocational education, we need to see a long-term plan and certainty for employers, and continued alignment with the LSIPs documents.
“We know there are a number of measures around technology, AI and digital protection. This is an area that is moving very quickly, and we want to see a pragmatic approach to legislation which supports businesses to implement changes and safeguard. We’re setting up the digital forum which will look at some implications of this for businesses.”
