Those among the elite attending Mr Johnson’s dinner in Downing Street also include Stephen Schwarzman, the co-founder of private equity firm Blackstone; Barclays chief Jes Staley; Santander chairman Ana Botin, and Larry Fink, head of investment giant BlackRock.
BT boss Philip Jansen and Goldman Sachs boss David Solomon are also understood to be on a list of attendees as are the Microsoft founder Mr Gates and JP Morgan’s Mr Dimon.
