Business and Industry Advisory Committee

The Business and Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC) to the OECD was formed in 1962 to enable business and industry to have an official input into OECD policy making through an independent organization. BIAC represents the ‘principal industrial and employer’s organizations in OECD countries’ including US Council for International Business (USCIB), the Confederation of British Industry (CBI) and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (ACCI). eBIAC: The Voice of the Business Community at the OECD, Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD, 28 May 2003. 
In 2007, more than 2300 business representatives were actively involved in the work of the OECD through the BIAC. They aimed to:
*Positively influence the direction of OECD policy initiatives
*Ensure business and industry needs are adequately addressed in OECD policy decision instruments
*Provide members with timely information on OECD policies and their implications for business and industryBIAC About us
BIAC ‘offers business and industry an excellent opportunity to participate in inter-governmental discussions on policy issues, thus giving the business community a chance to shape the development of long-term policies in OECD countries.’ It has a Trade Committee which plays an active role in the WTO negotiations, ‘identifying areas for further liberalization by governments’. The committee is chaired by Nancie S. Johnson, Vice President of DuPont Government Affairs (US) (who also chairs USCIB’s trade policy committee).Ibid.; BIAC Priorities for the WTO Doha Negotiations and Recommendations to the OECD, Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD, 20 February 2003, p. 3; Priorities for OECD and WTO Work: BIAC Submission on Trade-Related Issues to the OECD, Business and Industry Advisory Committee to the OECD, June 1998, p. 2

Business for Britain

Business for Britain was a eurosceptic lobby group which campaigned around the renegotiation of Britain's relationship with the European Union.
It was established in 2013 by Matthew Elliott and has been described as a 'Leave campaign in utero'.The Brexit odd squad, New Statesman, 30 May 2016
==Activities==
The objective of the campaign is summarised in a statement that over 500 business leaders signed when the campaign launched in April 2013, and has since attracted the signatures of over 250 more UK business people: “As business leaders and entrepreneurs responsible for millions of British jobs, we believe that the Government is right to seek a new deal for the EU and for the UK’s role in Europe. We believe that, far from being a threat to our economic interests, a flexible, competitive Europe, with more powers devolved from Brussels, is essential for growth, jobs and access to markets. We therefore urge all political parties to join in committing themselves to a national drive to renegotiate the terms of Britain’s membership of the EU.”

C. A. Smith

C. A. Smith was a British politician who held prominent positions in several minor parties, drifting to the hard right and becoming an anti-communist activist.
Smith trained as a school teacher, and later worked as a tutor for the Workers' Educational Association.
In 1933, he attended a conference of left socialists, organised by the ILP. Following its conclusion, Smith and John Paton travelled to meet Leon Trotsky.Martin Upham The History of British Trotskyism to 1949, Chapter 3, THE BRITISH SECTION OF THE LEFT OPPOSITION (NOVEMBER 1931 - DECEMBER 1933), Unpublished PhD thesis September 1980, accessed 31 October 2008 After this meeting, he argued broadly in favour of the Fourth International until at least 1935.
In 1939, he suceeded James Maxton as Chairman of the ILP. World War II began the same year, and the ILP opposed it, but in 1941 Smith surprised the party by announcing that he supported the prosecution of the war. As such, he resigned both from the ILP and his role as chair. Shortly afterwards, he joined the Common Wealth Party as its Research Officer, and in 1944 he suceeded Kim Mackay as the party chairman.An Australian socialist in England: Kim Mackay, the British Left, and European federalism, 1934-601, Keith Gildart, University of Wolverhampton, Conference Proceedings, paper presented at the Australian Society for the Study of Labour History conference The Past is Before Us
June 30 through July 2, 2005, University of Sydney, Accessed 31 October 2008 With the onset of the Cold War, Smith became increasingly anti-communist, and increasingly a proponent of Zionism.Hugh Wilford, The CIA, the British Left and the Cold War: Calling the Tune? Unable to gain support in Common Wealth for his ideas, he left in 1948.
Smith began working with a range of anti-communists, including Jack Tanner of the Amalgamated Engineering Union, the Duchess of Atholl (founder of the British League for European Freedom) and Conservative Party MP Malcolm Douglas-Hamilton, founding Common Cause in 1951, which aimed to combat communism in the trade unions. He soon became its general secretary, but the group dissolved itself into Industrial Research and Information Services in 1956. Albert Meltzer, I couldn't paint golden angels
