Lorely Burt moves a motion at Conference

Solihull MP Lorely Burt is the Liberal Democrat Shadow Minister for Small Business. At the Federal conference she moved a motion which said that reforms are needed so that government departments actively pursue a deregulation agenda and allow small businesses to flourish in the UK. She told the conference that business should not receive conflicting business advice from government agencies and that the inspection process should be streamlined to ensure it is less invasive and disruptive. In addition the business rate structure should be reformed to encourage the growth of small and emerging businesses. The motion was passed overwhelmingly.
