To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what recent discussions she has had with business groups on economic policy.

Government Ministers and Senior Officials regularly meet with businesses and business representation organisations. These meetings provide an opportunity for the Government to hear the views of the business community to aid in the formation of policy, including fiscal policy. These engagements are ongoing and will continue to be so.
