British PM calls for businesses change for "fairer" Britain

The British Prime Minister Theresa May on Sunday called the businesses to work with the government for a "stronger and fairer" Britain to regain public trust.

In a signed articled appeared on Financial Times website late Sunday, May said the government and the country's businesses will be endeavoring to establish the best corporate governance of any major economy by ensuring the voices of employees and consumers are properly represented in board deliberations and reforming executive pay.

"This will be essential to ensure business maintains and - where necessary - regains public trust," she said in the signed article which could have been her first published in British media since she took office in July.

Her article came amid surging anti-establishment sentiments which had culminated in the June 23 Brexit vote results and days ahead of the Autumn Statement which the British chancellor will deliver.

The prime minister has been vowing to create a country that works for every one after the historic vote.

In her article, May said that the government will continue the tasks of bringing the deficit down and getting the debt falling while doing more to boost Britain's long-term economic success.

"We will set out reforms to tackle low productivity and - crucially - provide targeted help to ordinary working families who are struggling to get by," she said. "If we believe in capitalism, free markets and free trade, we must be prepared to adapt and change." Endit
