A Labour government will work with technology firms that want to list their shares in London, the party’s business spokesman said, as the UK’s main opposition seeks to burnish its business credentials ahead of an election expected in the fall.
In an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Jonathan Reynolds said he had spoken to several technology companies wishing to list in Britain. He said he was open to introducing incentives, citing measures used in France by President Emmanuel Macron, and pledged to maintain a positive dialog with business.
