Downing Street officials reportedly want to overhaul the network of five business councils set up in November 2018 by Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s predecessor, Theresa May.
The network of five business councils led by private sector bosses, including Tesco boss Dave Lewis, is set to be dismantled as a result of the overhaul, Sky News reported.
The PM has reportedly made no attempt to reactivate the network following the general election, despite holding one meeting with the council’s co-chairs last October.
