Scottish Industry Forum
The Scottish Industry Forum is a New Labour friendly business organisation chaired by Baroness Goudie.
In 1999 - in the run up to the first Scottish Parliament elections - it commissioned a survey on business attitudes to independence which unsurprisinbgly came up with the finding that:
- A survey of 100 leading businesses has revealed that 75% of Scotland's biggest companies feel that independence for Scotland would be worse for business. The survey was carried out by MORI Scotland for the Scottish Industry Forum, the independent business organisation. Interviewing was conducted by MORI on 6-15 January. Asked if full independence would be better or worse for business, as opposed to a devolved Parliament as currently planned, only 6% felt the business environment would be improved.[1]
