Business Council

Put that the Chancellor’s meeting with the business community suggested that proposals were not set in stone, the PMS replied that the Chancellor’s meeting was to discuss the issues that had been raised by the business community. The Chancellor had made the position of the Government clear on this. The PMS added that for specifics it was best to speak with the Treasury.

Put that on the one hand the Government was introducing measures that the Business Council unanimously opposed, but on the other the Prime Minister would be attending a high-profile meeting with business leaders, the PMS said that the purpose of the Business Council was to discuss long-term policy and areas and issues that would determine the long-term economic wellbeing and competitiveness of the UK. Insofar as businesses having specific issues with one policy measure announced by the PBR, people would have an opportunity to discuss it with the Chancellor this afternoon.
