Leaders of some of the top businesses in South East Dorset from aerospace to construction, venture capital to HR and other professional services met Annette Brooke and other local MPs at a lunch forum hosted by the Wessex Branch of the Institute of Directors (IoD) at The Carlton Hotel, Bournemouth on 20th October.

During a cross party debate Annette Brooke MP, Sir John Butterfill MP and Tobias Ellwood MP were questioned on a range of issues that affect business and employment including EU enlargement and tax harmonisation, reform of business regulation, the process of government grants and the implications of the possible removal of the 48 hour opt out under the working time directive.

Concluding matters, Wessex IoD Chairman, Jonathan Clark, thanked his parliamentary guests and suggested that the political party that sensibly addressed deregulation and compliance in order to assist the competitiveness of UK business worldwide could be assured of the business vote.

    If you are a resident of the constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.

    • If you agree, Annette Brooke MP, the Liberal Democrats, and their elected representatives may use the information you provide to contact you about issues you may find of interest. Some of the contacts may be automated. You can opt out of these contacts at any time by contacting us.
