Next, on 18 per cent, came further incentives to hire appenticrs and address skills issues; while 10 per cent opted for ring-fenced infrastructure investments and greater subsidies for emerging industries. Justy behind on 8 pre cent was a group who thought thRE government dshould just let industry stand on its own without interference; whilre 7 per cent wanted to see expanded support for Cataoukt Centres, Innovate UK and similar initiatives.
