A five-point plan for immediate action by the new government is at the heart of the British Chambers of Commerce Election Manifesto.

The BCC wants to see:

• An Industrial Strategy with green innovation at its heart.

• Better skills planning, bringing businesses and training providers together.

• Business rates reform to encourage growth and investment.

• Improved relations with the European Union to cut the costs for business.

• A Government appointed AI champion for SMEs to spearhead uptake of new technology.

We hope that the next Government heeds President, Baroness Martha Lane Fox’ call for a long-term vision for the economy.
