Cameron is helping new businesses by not introducing 37 new lots of regulations and taxes.
Governments aren't very good at doing much about business (e.g. they often think manufacturing is somehow better than other businesses) : much better they simply reduce regulation and allow the people to create / expand businesses.0 -

Probably not, but it's this government policy to generate a sweatshop economy, we are working more for less as shown in the low productivity figures.What is Cameron doing to encourage new businesses, particularly the manufacturing industry??a succession of British governments had been elected promising to reverse the United Kingdom's relative industrial decline. Following their failure to re-balance the economy in favour of manufacturing, each duly resorted to reforms of the credit supply and fiscal stimulus measures to stimulate the domestic housing market, which then resulted in a sequence of unsustainable consumer, debt and propertyled economic booms, interrupted by periodic financial crises, economic recessions and bursts of fiscal austerity.
