Join Centre for London, Central London Forward and BusinessForBakerloo at this year’s Labour Party Conference to explore how fiscal devolution and strategic infrastructure investment can help drive long-term growth for the capital.

London is the epicentre of the nation’s economy, one of only two regions with a net-positive contribution to the Treasury. However, there remains vast inequality in London and the new Prime Minister’s drive for “good growth in every postcode” is an example of how devolution can both be a tool for unlocking growth and tackling inequality.

A better-connected London can support new homes, jobs and growth in areas of the capital that remains under-developed.

Our panel discussion will explore how fiscal devolution could unlock transformative infrastructure projects for the city, including the Bakerloo Line Upgrade and Extension, giving London the capacity to build new homes, create jobs and drive sustainable growth both in the city and nationwide.

We will explore:

• What tools London needs from fiscal devolution to deliver growth
• Why the Bakerloo Line Upgrade and Extension is critical to unlocking homes, jobs and opportunity for the capital
• What a long-term strategy for infrastructure investment should look like, to support London’s future prosperity.

We’ll explore how fiscal devolution can help London unlock the investment needed to drive growth for the capital.
