Graham is calling on local businesses to share their views ahead of the Chancellor’s second Budget next Wednesday, a moment that will affect business, entrepreneurs and working people across the country.

 

Over the past year, Graham has heard from dozens of business owners who say recent decisions by the Chancellor have made it harder to grow their businesses and support their staff. This concern is echoed nationwide, and Graham is determined to ensure that the voice of Beverley and Holderness is heard loud and clear in Westminster.

 

The short survey asks businesses to rate the Chancellor’s handling of the economy, share their biggest barriers to growth, and give their views on key issues such as tax, regulation, and workforce costs.

 

It also seeks feedback on Conservative proposals to boost the economy, including scrapping business rates, cutting energy costs, reversing changes to Business Property Relief, stopping the Employment Rights Bill, and increasing apprenticeship funding.

Graham Stuart, Member of Parliament for Beverley and Holderness, commented: “Over the past year, I’ve heard from dozens of local business owners who say recent decisions by the Chancellor have made it harder to grow their business and support their staff.

 

“I want to make sure their voice is heard loud and clear in Westminster, which is why I’ve prepared a short survey for them to share their views.

 

“Their feedback will help me champion policies that reward enterprise, cut red tape, and support jobs in Beverley and Holderness.”
