London-While talking with Punjab Outlook , Preet Kaur Gill MP, said that since taking office, this government has worked relentlessly to restore Britain’s economic leadership and attract long-term private investment, and the results speak for themselves. It began with the record-breaking UK Investment Summit in October 2024, where we secured £63 billion in inward investment commitments. This milestone event reaffirmed global confidence in Britain’s economic future. Just last month, Amazon pledged £40 billion to the UK economy over the next three years, focusing on infrastructure, logistics, and advanced technologies — a vote of trust in the UK’s business environment and digital future.
And this week, another breakthrough: our close partnership with France has delivered a major boost to our energy sector, with EDF investing significantly in the Sizewell C nuclear power station. This comes on top of £14.2 billion in public funding confirmed in the recent Spending Review, marking a major step forward in our transition to secure, clean energy. In total, £120 billion in private investment has been secured since we took office — a clear demonstration of Britain’s re-emergence as a prime destination for global investors.
Sizewell C alone will be a game-changer — creating up to 10,000 jobs during peak construction, supporting thousands more in the national supply chain, and delivering 1,500 apprenticeships for young people across the country. This isn’t just about energy — it’s about lower bills for families, high-skilled jobs for workers, and long-term energy security for the country. Together, these investments bring us closer to a ‘golden age’ of nuclear power — ensuring a cleaner, more secure energy future and a stronger, more resilient economy for generations to come.
