We held a drop-in briefing session for Labour MPs as part of our Manifesto launch.

There were 10 MPs in the room, and we had a great discussion on our Retail Manifesto, and how the policies our manifesto sets out can help to revitalise high streets.

We highlighted our concerns with the business rate reform proposals, the Budget and how upcoming policies like the Employment Rights Bill could either help the industry reach its ambitions, or add significant new costs which would hold back this vital investment in growth.

We have agreed to stay in touch with attending MPs and are looking into future events we can hold for them in the future.
