Cameron backs Prescott's work ethic

David Cameron has said the old Protestant work ethic should be replaced by a "modern vision of ethical work". He said the government should not regulate the specific details of working life but should seek to shape working conditions through a mix of "education, sponsorship, exhortation, cultural change and leadership".

He went on: "It's time we admitted that there's more to life than money and it's time we focused not just on GDP [gross domestic product] but on GWB: general well-being."
