I'm not saying "job done" but I am actually pretty confident that Britain can be one of the biggest winners from these big global changes that are taking place and indeed become the richest of the major economies in the world in this coming generation.

Why don't we save and invest in our future and start making the things that millions of Chinese consumers are going to want in the future.

Britain wants the single currency to be a success. It is massively in our interests that we have a stable financial system on our doorstep.

For example at the moment there is a compulsory requirement to buy an annuity. That is something we would get rid of. It puts some people off saving.

One big theme for me is that we have got to move from an economy built on debt to one where we save and invest in the future.

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.

I believe that I'm entitled to regard my pre-political life as off-limits in terms of what can be looked at and judged.
