BBC News - Business backing for George Osborne's spending cuts
The leaders of 35 of the UK's biggest companies have expressed their support for the government's plans for spending cuts running into billions of pounds.
BBC business editor Robert Peston says that Mr Osborne could not be happier that a group of influential people, such as the 35 business leaders, has at last come out and said they want him to make the deep public spending cuts that he has been promising.
Labour dismissed the letter as "politically motivated".
Robert Peston said in his blog on the cuts that some of the signatories - such as Next chief executive Lord Wolfson and Paul Walsh of Diageo - were widely viewed as Conservative supporters.
