00:00As Defence Secretary, I spoke about the defence industry as an engine for growth.
00:06As Chancellor, I speak for the whole economy.
00:10And businesses of all sizes, in all sectors, are so critical to the good growth we seek to secure in
00:19this country.
00:20For delivering the investment, the innovation, the re-industrialisation that our economy needs.
00:26Lifting the pessimism that has eroded not just the public's confidence, but has eroded our own prosperity.
00:36And my message to British business is quite simple.
00:41To British businesses, to British innovators, to British investors, I will back you as your Chancellor.
00:49And I will back you in financial services, in technology, in retail, in industry, in all parts of the economy.
