• Summary of key points from Liz Truss's TV interviews

Truss was asked about her views on what she has described as obstacles to growth" replying that she was intent on pressing ahead with plans to remove top-down" housing targets.

It's wrong that how houses are built is centrally directed. Instead we are setting up new investment zones, which are places that people want homes to be built and they want businesses to be built. It's an approach based more on local consent than centrally based targets.

That is the balance that she needs to strike. Yes there is more that we can do to get the highly skilled people we need in our economy but we also need to train more people.
