Steve Norris - Why is the Treasury the biggest barrier to increasing UK prosperity?
In today’s podcast in our Taken for a Ride miniseries celebrating the unique work of property entrepreneur Don Riley, we speak with Steve Norris, the former transport secretary who forced the treasury to invest in the extension (and incidentally) got Crossrail approved in 1995. Steve contributed to the book and doesn’t hold back in his criticisms of the Treasury there and he does the same in the interview.
He began in industry and then began a dual career as a politician in the 1970s, eventually serving as an MP in Margaret Thatcher's government. He was transport minister in John Major’s cabinet from 1992-1997. In 1997, he stepped down from politics to return to his business career.
Today he chairs and advises a number of different companies and charities and leads a small but highly skilled team of people specialising in complex property, infrastructure and transportation projects. He also runs a business that builds more affordable homes for people in and around his adopted city, London.
