Britain has always been a nation with a strong global focus. We have influenced change and built strong ties all round the world.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Visit any of the fastest growing parts of the world and you will find investment in infrastructure.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
An economic strategy built around hiking taxes for business means one thing: fewer jobs.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
If you stop investing in a modern road system to give an unaffordable electoral bung to new voters, then the investors who could create great jobs for them will be doing so for the younger generation in another country instead.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
It is free enterprise and the determination to succeed which generates opportunity and wealth for our society, and in doing so provides the money we need to deliver the high quality public services that we all want.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Unlike Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party, I am not ideologically obsessed with the structure of our rail network; for me it is a matter of practicality.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
The railways should be run in the best interest of passengers and, overall, taxpayer's money should be spent improving the network, not subsiding it.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
I'm very mindful of the need to ensure we have a criminal justice system in which people have confidence.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
The trouble with the SNP is they want power without responsibility. They do not want to take difficult decisions.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
It's not good enough to announce 'I know my rights' if you aren't prepared to accept that you have responsibilities to society and your fellow citizens as well. And if people don't live up to those responsibilities to our society, they will not be able to hide behind their rights.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Police on the street need the discretion to deal quickly and easily with routine misdemeanours which need to be recorded but need not take up court time - and where there is no doubt about guilt.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
The typical prisoner has numerous brushes with the law before finally being sent behind bars. Each year thousands of cautions are issued to people who will come back to crime again.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
We need society, and particularly the victims of crime, to believe justice is being done.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Britain cannot afford to allow a culture of Left-wing-dominated, single-issue activism to hold back our country from investing in infrastructure and new sources of energy and from bringing down the cost of our welfare state.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
The Human Rights Convention was written by Conservatives in the aftermath of the Second World War. It was designed to combat the risk of another Holocaust, and to try to stop people being sent to prison camps without trial.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
All too often politicians sign treaties in a hurry, without reading them properly, and without understanding where they will lead.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
All too often, ambulance-chasing has been simple fraud. People are encouraged to launch a claim for whiplash when no one has been injured. Phone calls ask you to claim for accidents that never happened.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
European businesses will want to retain free-trade access to the U.K. - their biggest export market.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
We take back control of our laws and Britain will be a proud independent nation again.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
I want to see prisoners getting support that is every bit as good as that which they would receive from the NHS in the community.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Prison is not meant to be comfortable. It's not meant to be somewhere anyone would ever want to go back to.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
When you talk to unemployed young people you hear one thing above all others - if you haven't got experience how can you get a job? But if you don't have a job, how can you get experience?
Quote by -Chris Grayling
I think it's fair to set limits, so that people cannot receive more than the equivalent of the national average wage while living on benefits.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
I think it's fair to set limits on housing benefit, so that people on welfare do not end up able to live in better areas than those doing the right thing by finding work.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
The state has no right to cast people aside because they are sick or disabled.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
We must give individuals the opportunity to show what they are capable of.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
The root causes of the gang culture lie right across the policy spectrum - but they can all be found in the same areas geographically: worklessness; family breakdown; educational failure and addiction.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Whether it is kids carrying knives because they are in gangs or kids carrying knives because they are afraid of gangs, it is the gang culture that underpins the problem.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
The truth is that those who join gangs - more often than not they are young men in their later teens - often do come from the most difficult family backgrounds, from an environment where they feel neglected and unwanted. Gang membership can bring a perverse sense of belonging which they may not have ever got at home.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
The vast majority of young people in Britain are law-abiding citizens making important contributions to their communities.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
I have met virtually no one in the policing and security world who thinks ID cards are an essential part of what they need to do in the future.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Introducing ID cards isn't a matter of great national security importance.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
People are innocent until they are proven guilty, and we will make sure that stays the case.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
I think that far too often we let those who commit crimes in our society off far too lightly.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Few escape our most deprived estates. Few young people with potential escape difficult upbringings. Fewer cross the social divides.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
On our toughest estates, generations pass with the same experience of worklessness and educational failure.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Social immobility is driven by family background, instability in childhood and often by parents who don't know how to give children the right start in life.
Quote by -Chris Grayling
Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Leeds have successful financial services sectors. There are good universities there which provide great opportunities for local technological innovation. And there are strong multinational and family businesses.
