Jeremy Hunt says it is important for the government to engage with a body that is representative of the business community, as commentators speculate the CBI will not survive its misconduct crisis.
Chancellor Jeremy Hunt says there is"no point" in talking to the CBI while the lobby group is dealing with allegations that have brought its future into doubt.
"It's incredibly important for me when I am constructing budgets to have someone I can turn to that speaks for British business because we are a very very pro-business government."We are obviously very concerned about the allegations of what's happened at the CBI - they are very very serious. It has also been a thorn in the side for ministries however, articulating the broad opposition to Brexit among companies during the referendum campaign, a position that prompted Boris Johnson to notoriously declare"f*** business".Rishi Sunak's presence at the Business Connect event, at which he took questions from company bosses, was an attempt to convince employers that his government is pro-business after months of political and economic instability.
