North Warwickshire and Bedworth’s Parliamentary Candidate says that the Conservative Party Manifesto provides a more prosperous future for local people.
Craig Tracey who is standing for re-election locally said that unlike the Labour Manifesto, the Conservative’s vision for the UK is fully costed and sustainable and tackles the biggest issues that face our society such as Social Care and NHS funding.
Craig commented:
“I am delighted that the Party will be investing an additional minimum £8 billion in real terms to our NHS over the next five years, delivering an increase in real funding per head of population for every year of the parliament. If the Conservatives are re-elected Theresa May has promised that we will embark on the most ambitious programme of capital investment in buildings and technology the NHS has ever seen. We have also put education at the heart of our manifesto by pledging an additional £4 billion in real terms to the schools budget, which I know local schools in our community will welcome as it ensures that no school has its budget cut as a result of the new, fair funding formula.”
Mr Tracey, was also pleased to see a focus on controlling immigration:
“Unlike the Labour Party who introduced the open door immigration policy and want to see it continue, the Conservatives will control immigration and, crucially, reduce it. Following Brexit we will have control over our borders and be able to make immigration sustainable with a system which works for this country prioritising the skilled workers which are needed. The Conservatives will double the levy on companies hiring workers from outside the EU to £2,000 a year by the end of the parliament, using the revenue generated to invest in higher level skills training for workers in the UK.”
On launching the Manifesto Theresa May said:
“The next five years are the most challenging that Britain has faced in my lifetime. Brexit will define us: our place in the world, our economic security and our future prosperity. So now more than ever, Britain needs a strong and stable government to get the best Brexit deal for our country and its people.”
