00:00We're really pleased that today we're able to unlock more than £60bn of private sector investment in the UK,
00:08including £1bn from DP World in that port project,
00:13which is so important to get new jobs paying decent wages for that community in Essex.
00:18Conversations, as you know, happened at the weekend to encourage them to make that investment.
00:23That investment is now being made in Britain, and DP World can see the benefits of investing in the UK,
00:31as can so many other businesses who are announcing hundreds of millions, in some cases billions of pounds of investment.
00:37Under the last government, it was possible to engage in practices like fire and rehire and to have exploitative zero-hour contracts.
00:45We introduced legislation to Parliament last week that will make those practices unlawful.
00:50And that is the leadership that this government is showing.
00:54And any company employing people in the UK will have to abide by that legislation.
00:59That's the change that this government is bringing to make sure that work always pays
01:04and to ensure that people who go out to work have the security and dignity that should always come from having a job.
