Papers relating to questions from The Observer newspaper which featured in the Business Observer supplement on 31 December 1978 on "how will the UK fare in 1979?". Three questions on this topic were put to '21 leaders of British industry' including John Sainsbury [later Lord Sainsbury of Preston Candover].

The questions were:
1. What will be the most important development in your sphere?
2. What will be the most important event in the UK?
3. What important event do you expect not to happen?
