Right of centre think tanks tell David Cameron to rethink economic strategy The letter is signed by Tessa Keswick, deputy chairman of the Centre for Policy Studies and Mark Littlewood, director general of the Institute of Economic Affairs, among others. The think tanks also urge ministers to "stop building wind-farms and repeal (or suspend) the Climate Change Act," and abandon the multi-billion pound high speed rail link between London and Birmingham. Other suggestions include removing "all barriers to private sector development of a reliable, modern internet system, liberalise the development of a reliable water network with adequate new reservoirs" and "veto the EU budget until it is cut." The plans "coupled with the exemption of small businesses from employment regulation" would not cost the Government a penny. They say: "Taken together, they would not involve additional public spending; nor should they involve PFI-style financing gimmicks. Rather, it is a matter of transferring resources from unproductive projects to wealth creation and the delivery of essential infrastructure. The alternative is continuing stagnation, based on token cuts of recurrent entitlements and real cuts into the backbone of Britain's future.
