CBI sets out demands in lead up to Autumn Statement

Date: 27 November 2014

The Confederation of British Industry has set out its list of demands to the Government ahead of the Chancellor's Autumn Statement this week, due to fears from businesses that the UK's transport infrastructure will worsen in the next five years.

The CBI suggested measures including a new tunnel under Stonehenge to relieve congestion between London and the South West and continued investment in an upgrade to the A14.

The full package is expected to cost £676m over 2015 and 2016 and the group believes it can be paid for through public services reform and departmental savings.

John Cridland, CBI director-general, said: "We know firms are concerned about the state of our roads, so the arrowhead of business recommendations is a major push on improving the country's infrastructure. Businesses want to see the Government set out clear project plans, with start dates and timescales."
