That is why the protagonists of our recovery story are not convention centres but people. Putting people into work restoring nature alongside the huge investment we are making to build 8,000 new public homes will direct money into the parts of the economy where most people earn their livelihoods. Whether it's selling food in a cafe, running a local business providing services to the community, or providing after-school care, these are the parts of the economy that people depend on. They are the parts of the economy that are sustained when public investment is directed at getting people into work and earning money that they then spend in their local community.
