Winning back industry to the Tories

Article Abstract:

The UK's business leaders should not take seriously recent statements from the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) which imply that their best hopes for the future could lie with the Labour party, rather than the Conservatives, according to Ian Lang, president of the Board of Trade. The Labour party is not really committed to fiscal and economic responsibility, he believes, and business leaders should be careful not to be deceived. He is particularly keen to sever traditional links between employers and the Labour party.
