Business Council for Britain
The Business Council for Britain was set up by the Prime Minister in June 2007 to advise Government on how it can best promote the long-term health of the UK economy. The Council is independent of Government and provides private advice to the Prime Minister and Government. The Department for Business, Innovation and Skills provides a dedicated Secretariat to the Business Council.
Remit
Specifically the Council’s remit is to:
- Examine the progress the Government is making to improve the business environment in areas critical to the future of the economy;
- Advise the Government on its policies and priorities; and
- Conduct its own reviews on the areas it believes will determine the future economic well being of the UK
The Council provides a valuable insight into cross-cutting challenges and opportunities, highlighting where the links need to be made in order to drive a competitive UK economy.
