The Business Secretary, in a speech to business leaders, will say the uncertainty created by talk of a referendum was "potentially driving away investors and the jobs they create".
Mr Cable will recognise the scope for "far-reaching reform" in Brussels and the need to address a "democratic deficit of popular disenchantment" about EU membership but he will stress this is "a terrible time to have the diversion and uncertainty which the build-up to a referendum would entail".
