HC Deb 10 July 1996 vol 281 cc229-30W
Mr. Callaghan

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he next expects to meet the Confederation of British Industry to discuss the future levels of business investment. [36269]

Mrs. Angela Knight

My right hon. and learned Friend is planning to meet the CBI on 12 September. I note that the CBI, in common with virtually all other independent forecasters, expects investment to accelerate in both 1996 and 1997.
