29. Sir David Knox

To 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. [38679]

I am due to address the national conference of the Confederation of British Industry on 14 November. The latest CBI survey shows continued growth in manufacturing output, investment and exports. In 1996 the CBI expects manufacturing output to grow by 4 per cent.
