British growth plans get positive response in Davos, minister says

The article from Reuters discusses the positive reception of the UK's growth plans at the World Economic Forum in Davos, as stated by British Finance Minister Jeremy Hunt.

The minister also noted that while the response was encouraging, the real test would be in the implementation and the actual economic outcomes following these discussions.
