§ 25. Sir David KnoxTo ask the President of the Board of Trade when he next expects to meet the President of the Confederation of British Industry to discuss manufacturing industry. [26836]
§ Mr. HeseltineI am meeting the President of the Confederation of British Industry on 21 June to discuss a range of issues. In 1995 the CBI expects manufacturing output to grow by more than 4 per cent. and manufacturing investment to grow by more than 10.5 per cent. Recent CBI surveys show export orders growing faster than ever before and export optimism at its highest level for a generation.
