Shadow business secretary Jonathan Reynolds says small firms are ‘lifeblood of communities’ and ‘essential to our economic success’
He will say: “Listening to the voice of small business is integral if the next Labour Government is to succeed.“With Labour, small businesses will get the firm economic foundation they need to thrive, with action to tackle late payments, business rates reform and make it easier for small businesses to win public contracts.”
“Tackling late payment and business rates is exactly what small businesses are looking for – while opening up public procurement will see government itself benefit from the talents of all those working in small businesses across the country.”
