Commenting, Liberal Democrat Leader Nick Clegg said:

"This week I will be focusing on the most important issue of all in this election: how we can build a new economy from the rubble of the old.

"Under Governments from the old parties, economic policy was made entirely subservient to the needs of just one square mile - the city of London.

"Our vision of a new economy aims to provide growth that lasts for all 100,000 square miles of the UK. We have detailed plans to make our economy environmentally, financially and socially sustainable.

"Today [Monday] I will set out further details of our costed plan for an immediate green job creation package, taking over £3bn of savings to invest in housing transport and green energy.

"This will provide an immediate jobs boost and help create the green infrastructure we need for a low carbon economy.

"On Tuesday and Wednesday I will unveil further proposals on restructuring our financial system and on boosting social mobility in the new economy."
