RIBA President responds to the resignation of PM Liz Truss

Our response to the news that Liz Truss will be resigning as Prime Minister.

20 October 2022

RIBA President Simon Allford said:   

“In a week’s time we’ll be ushering in the third Prime Minister of the year. This perpetually revolving door of ministers throws business certainty out the window, stifling hopes for recovery.  

The new Prime Minister’s agenda must prioritise finding real solutions to the real problems we face - the climate, energy and cost of living crises. These are unprecedented times of great uncertainty – we need stability.  

We will be engaging with the new Government and encouraging them to draw on the expertise in our industry, to help make our buildings and communities fit for the future.” 

ENDS
