The British government should act with urgency to minimize the uncertainties from ‘Brexit’ that affect investment decisions and slow job creation, the Confederation of British Industry Director-General Carolyn Fairbairn said in a letter to The Times newspaper.
According to the letter published by the CBI on Monday, Fairbairn said “What we need is a plan.”
She said the confederation is today writing to the Prime Minister, the Department for Business and the Treasury outlining the top priorities to reduce uncertainty and create investment.
“The first part of the plan must be to get strong, calm and decisive leadership in place as soon as possible,” said Fairbairn. Businesses welcomed the decision to delay in triggering Article 50 to create breathing space.
“Second, we must agree the principles that should underpin our new relationship with Europe and the rest of the world.” The government should seek to protect tariff and barrier-free access to the Single Market of 500 million consumers, she added.
The third part of the plan is to forge close and deep collaboration between business and government to help shape the UK’s future economic relationships, Fairbairn added.
She said now is the time for businesses across Britain to come together in partnership with government and communities to turn the will of the British people into a new set of world relationships that benefit everyone.
