U.K. business leaders urged Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne to do more to boost growth, arguing his government is doing “too little, too slowly.”
A poll of 1,277 members of the Institute of Directors published today by the London-based business lobby group found a majority thought Prime Minister David Cameron and Osborne had been “ineffective” at reducing tax, tackling regulations on businesses and simplifying employment laws. The poll, which also found that more than four out of 10 companies have delayed at least one investment or employment decision this year due to uncertainty, was carried out between July 26 and Aug. 3.
