The Prime Minister’s comments on British Racing in full:
鈥淚t鈥檚 early morning and I鈥檓 in Newmarket. I鈥檓 on Warren Hill, the Heath just outside Newmarket where some of the world鈥檚 best racehorses come and train every day.
鈥淏ritish Racing is a massive success story and I wanted to come and see and hear about it for myself. It鈥檚 an industry worth over 拢3 billion pounds, employs well over 100,000 people. It鈥檚 now the second most popular sport 鈥� Racing 鈥� after football in our country.
鈥淥ne of the themes of what I have been talking about is how we need to play to our national successes, whether it鈥檚 our science, our universities, our manufacturing base. This is a success story too and we want to make sure it鈥檚 continued.
鈥淪o I am meeting with some trainers and hearing their views about how we make sure this great industry, a lot of it based here in Newmarket, goes from strength to strength.鈥�
