Business Secretary Vince Cable is asking a group of experts to advise him on business and economic policy on an ad hoc Business Advisory Board chaired by Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay
Cable said: "Tackling the challenges facing business requires new ideas from a range of experts. Economic knowledge and commercial experience are essential to developing policy and this new panel will be critical to finding new ways to move the economy forward."
Lord Oakeshott is a Liberal Democrat spokesperson for Treasury and Work and Pensions. He studied economics at University and Nuffield College, Oxford and has been a pension fund investment manager since 1976.
He was a Director of Warburg Investment Management and head of Courtaulds Pension Fund before starting his own business.
