-- Britain’s leading business groups are calling on Jeremy Hunt to unlock investment with a mixture of tax cuts, improvements to the UK power grid and policies to address skills shortages when he unveils a package of economic measures later this month.Hunt has downplayed expectations of any big giveaways ahead of his Autumn Statement on Nov. 22, saying his priority is — as it has been all year — to bear down on inflation that remains well above the government’s 2% target.
