TEN QUESTIONS FOR CANDIDATES FOR THE 2010 GENERAL ELECTION from the FSB
__________________________________________________________________________________
Below are 10 questions that the FSB will be asking candidates of all parties in the run in to the General Election. If you are in business yourself & find a campaigner in front of you, maybe it would be useful to have these in your pocket to see if they squirm, or if they have small business' interests close to their hearts?
1. What is the view of candidates on the National Insurance Contributions rise, being discussed by all parties?
2. How would candidates tackle the scourge of late payment facing small businesses?
3. Should small businesses be given the right of appeal against a decision by a bank to reject their loan application?
4. Can candidates outline how they would ensure that small firms get a fair share when it comes to public sector contracts?
5. Do candidates support the proposals for a Post Bank?
6. Would candidates declare a moratorium on employment regulations?
7. How would candidates halt the onward march of the big supermarkets?
8. Do candidates think that parking restrictions and charges should be lifted at certain times to encourage trade in the high street?
9. How would candidates ensure the police took crimes against businesses seriously?
10. Do any of the candidates have any real experience in running a business?
Are you a local Small Business owner with different questions that you are keen to have an answer to?
