The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has offered some words of advice for the Tories ahead of the Conservative Party’s conference this week.
Commenting ahead of the conference, John Longworth, Director General of the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said that businesses will welcome the Chancellor’s commitment to reducing the deficit, ‘which is vital to stabilising public finances and boosting business confidence’.
He added: “However, with the UK facing a weak economic recovery and concerns over the future of the eurozone and global demand, the government should commit to a Plan A+. We believe that there is room within the current spending envelope for further measures to stimulate business growth and contribute to recovery. Only a strong and prosperous private sector will allow us to provide the public services we all want and need. The government needs to be prepared to introduce a package of measures this autumn to strengthen business confidence, allowing companies to grow, invest, export, and create jobs.”
