Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg has urged more companies to offer shares to their employees, saying it will improve productivity and unlock growth.

He told an audience in the City that the government planned to cut red tape and reform the tax system to accommodate employee ownership.

It is hoped the measures will create what he called a "John Lewis economy".
