TheLabour Growth Group is a parliamentary caucus of MPs within theUK Labour Party that aims to remove barriers toeconomic growth.
The group's website says, "We believe that many of the barriers to unleashing a new era of growth in the United Kingdom are political and we exist to confront those barriers."[1]
The group began with a letter sent to Keir Starmer, urging him to not back down on reforming planning laws and to pursue building housing and infrastructure. They advocate for improving the economic growth of the UK. There were over 50 signatories.[2][3][4] The letter got the approval of the government before it was published.[5]
The group has been reported as being 'pro-Starmer'.[6]
PoliticsHome reported that Labour MPs from the left of the party were sceptical of the group, with one believing it is a 'front' set up by the government to support its work.[5]
The membership has been reported as the signatories of the letter to Starmer. The group includes someParliamentary Private Secretaries (PPS).[7] The original letter had 54 signatories, butthe Spectator reported as of the end of July 2024, there were over 60 members,[8] whilethe Times reported the figure was 'close to 70'.[6] In December 2024,the New Stateman reported the group was at 'nearly 100' members.[9]
In July 2025, analysis byLabourList and PLMR suggested that the group had 55 publicly-known members.[10]
