CAMPBELL ADAMSON SWEET VOICE OF BRITISH INDUSTRY

Abstract

AS Director‐General of the Confederation of British Industry, William Owen Campbell Adamson tramps around Whitehall championing the interests of British business in the face of a current account deficit in the balance of payments approaching £4,000 million; a weighted average devaluation of sterling of over 20 per cent since December 1971; unemployment rising; our Gross Domestic Product in the third quarter of 1974 hardly higher than in the same period a year ago; industry in real terms currently running at a loss; and the Financial Times Ordinary Share Index at its lowest level since the 1950s.
