The Forum of Private Business has launched its own manifesto, which called on the future government to protect the interests of small businesses, no matter who wins the upcoming general election.
Phil Orford, CEO of the Forum of Private Business, has claimed that “in order to gain votes” the government has focused on the SME sector by launching schemes such as Funding for Lending and implementing the Business Bank. “However, we are calling on political parties to put small business interests at the heart of their election manifestos and for the next government to put the backbone of the British economy – small businesses – at the top of the political agenda,” he said.- General election 2015: Twitter reacts to SNP manifesto with hilarious creativity
