DAVID Cameron pledged to help businesses get Britain working again as he met the boss of Jaguar Land Rover at Downing Street.

Ralf Speth was among senior business leaders who attended a reception on “rebalancing” the economy.

Mr Cameron said he was committed to ensuring every part of the country shared in Britain’s prosperity, instead of depending on financial services in London to create wealth.

It followed a series of positive announcements by Jaguar Land Rover, which has scrapped plans to close one of its sites at Castle Bromwich and Solihull.

The firm also recently announced initiatives to create 1,500 new jobs at its plant at Halewood, Merseyside, and to recruit 1,000 engineers.

Mr Cameron said: “Across a whole range of areas you’re going to see the most pro-business, pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda ever unleashed by a government.

“It’s time we looked forward to a positive, strong, confident Britain.”
