Julian Ware-Lane said: 

"The economy is the number one topic in conversations I have with residents in Castle Point. It is an accepted worldwide issue that requires a worldwide solution – this is why the G20 summit is so important. 

"Jobs and businesses in Castle Point need protecting; the world leaders must work together to restore confidence, growth and jobs. 

"I welcome the successes secured this week. The London Summit brought together leaders of the world’s major economies and key international institutions.  They have agreed collective action necessary to stabilise the world economy and secure recovery and jobs."
