CBI response to new social distancing measures

Dame Carolyn Fairbairn, CBI Director-General:

“Protecting the public will protect businesses in the long run.

“These latest measures will of course present great challenges, disrupting daily lives and the normal run of business. But we all owe it to each other to act responsibly, both people and businesses.

“The economic support the Government is providing and the determination of firms to support their employees mean together that the right action can be taken to protect lives and livelihoods.”
