Clapham of the CBI Last week came a heartrending statement from Michael Clapham, president of the Confederation of British Industrin about the tough times industry. Heath's legislation against increased prices of manufactured goods was causing excruciating pain, he said.

He told, for example, the story of the pitifully poor wool manufacturer being driven to the wall by the rising cost of materials. Couldn't a widow's mite be spared for these needy manufacturers?

Cynics might say that Clapham is shedding crocodile tears. Why should he worry about them. He's deputy chairman of ICI, the biggest supplier in the country of synthetic fibres.
