BCC comments on PM’s plan to seek General Election

Director General Adam Marshall comments on the announcement by Prime Minister Theresa May that she is to seek a General Election on June 8th.

“Many business communities will understandably be concerned that attention will inevitably shift from the economy and the intricacies of leaving the EU to a potential election campaign. Firms will want to be reassured that the key challenges facing the economy will be front and centre throughout any election period.”
