Business Leaders And The Euro
MORI's 2001 survey of "Captains of Industry" [Business Leaders' Support Grows For Single European Currency], published this week, finds these representatives of Britain's biggest companies divided by more than three to two in favour of Britain joining the euro.

The Captains have always been more euro-friendly than the public, but in the last two years before the 2001 study the gap had been narrowing; the most recent figures show a sharp business swing in favour of the single currency, though as the table shows the balance of opinions has effectively simply reverted to that from 1999.
