One of the Conservative Party's most senior figures has said that the Tories would help to boost UK jobs and businesses with a series of helpful measures.
Theresa May, spokeswoman on Work, Pensions, and Women, answered readers' questions in the Independent and said that to address tax pressure on businesses it would make changes to the current system.
She told the newspaper: "We will also support new jobs by making the first ten jobs created by new businesses in the first two years of a Conservative government exempt from national insurance creating 60,000 extra jobs over two years."
The spokeswoman added that there will be more apprenticeship places open to UK jobseekers as well as schemes to bolster self-employed people and businesses.
Theresa May's comments follow proposals by the current home secretary Alan Johnson, who said that British workers would have priority over UK jobs, in front of foreign employees.
