The CBI’s call for a “more flexible approach” to Britain’s public finances, with significant spending on infrastructure projects and cuts to business taxes, follows growing concerns inside the Treasury that tax revenues are falling and growth is slowing, limiting Hammond’s room for manoeuvre as he plans the next five years of government spending. The Confederation of British Industry ( CBI ) has called on UK Chancellor, 2.1bn , to spend an extra £ Philip Hammond in his 52 weeks statement on extending maternity leave from nine months to a year to encourage mothers to return to work. The business lobby group said that such a change would bridge the gap to the point at which parents can claim support for childcare through the government’s childcare voucher scheme which comes into effect at nine months to a year . The Confederation of British Industry also called for greater spending on infrastructure and reductions in business taxes.
