CONSERVATIVE parliamentary candidate Jesse Norman welcomed a key business figure to Hereford.

Peter Luff MP, chairman of the business select committee at the House of Commons, spoke to local businesspeople at a breakfast at Saxty’s in Hereford.

Mr Luff has the job of holding to account the Department of Business, Innovation and Skills, led by Lord Mandelson.

He highlighted the importance of helping small and mediumsized businesses to grow even in the current economic context. It was vital to reduce the burden of taxation and regulation over time, and to recognise the value of manufacturing, he said.

“It is great to have Peter Luff in Hereford, given his influence and insights into economic policymaking,”

said Mr Norman.
