HC Deb 11 December 1980 vol 995 c481W
45. Mr. Edwin Wainwright

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what response he has had from the Confederation of British Industry on his statement of a reduction of 2 per cent, in interest rates.

Sir Geoffrey Howe

None, but I understand that the Director-General of the CBI has welcomed the cut in MLR is a step in the right direction.
