HC Deb 05 March 1998 vol 307 c744W
Kali Mountford

To ask the President of the Board of Trade what representations she has received from business about the development of her policies to improve business performance. [31140]

Mrs. Roche

Forging a strong partnership with business lies at the heart of the Government's drive to help companies improve their performance. This agenda is being driven forward by the Competitiveness UK initiative. Business people are working directly with DTI Ministers to identify barriers to improved competitiveness and develop practical proposals to overcome them. This radical approach will lead to policies for sustainable wealth creation, based on a high skill, high investment, innovative, modern economy.
