How Entrepreneurs Can Impact Politics

This event coincides with the launch of this year’s Parliamentary Snapshot with Iain Wright MP. The Parliamentary Snapshot is an annual survey of MPs, which reveals the views of MPs on policies impacting entrepreneurs. Iain has just been elected as Chairman of the Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) Select Committee. He will speak about how entrepreneurs can impact politics, and there will be plenty of time for questions.
