GWE Business West Comments on Election Result

GWE Business West is concerned about what a hung parliament will mean for businesses and the economy.

Phil Smith, Joint Managing Director, says, “With no clear party in control there is less likely to be a clear mandate for action and decision making. There are clear decisions that need to be taken now - how we handle the nation’s debt, how we continue our economic recovery and how best we support business in the short term.”

John Savage, Joint Managing Director, says, “We would like to see a clear plan developed for the next few months and support the British Chambers of Commerce 90 day plan for business growth as a starting point for those discussions. It is imperative that a hung parliament does not mean indecision and lack of action on key economic issues.”
