Even a China growing at 7% or indeed less is still adding to the world economy an economy equivalent to the UK or more.

China is absolutely one of the biggest players in the world and if Britain wants to be connected to the world it has to be connected to China.

I think Britain needs to get out there on the world stage and make itself heard. And for much of my political career, there has been a sense of retreat from the world stage because of what happened in the Iraq War.

We need to think deeply about whether we can sustain banks that are not only too big to fail, but potentially too big to bail.

I think we woefully failed to connect Britain to the growing Chinese economy in the previous decade, and I have sought to remedy that. China is now the sixth biggest trading partner with the UK. We have attracted now the lion's share of Chinese investment that is going into Europe.

The British people think that if someone is disabled, then they should get all the care and support that we can offer.
