Lord Digby Jones has called for the corporation tax rate to be cut to 10% to boost Britain’s economy. The former CBI chief said the Chancellor should make the cut as part of a push for globalisation. He said: “The UK is the most open major economy on the planet. We don’t do protectionism like the French or Americans. In this, Asia’s century, if there is one country that starts ahead of the game in the global stakes it’s ours.”
