John Baron meets with Basildon Networking Group at David Lloyd club

Conservative candidate discusses business policy over coffee

John Baron, the Conservative Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Basildon & Billericay, today visited the David Lloyd Leisure club in Basildon, which hosts the Basildon Networking Group. These monthly meetings attract around 50 local business owners as part of the Federation of Small Business. John was shown around the leisure club and then spent time chatting with the business owners about their concerns and Conservative policies. John has also been visiting businesses across the constituency.

John said:

“Time and time again, businesses are saying there is too much tax and regulation. Small businesses are vitally important to our local community and economy, so we must do what we can to help them.

“This is why a Conservative government would cut small companies’ corporation tax to 20%, paid for by scrapping complex allowances. We will also make small businesses rate relief automatic and reverse Labour’s disastrous jobs tax.

“We would also cut the burden of regulation because red tape stifles enterprise. Conservatives will introduce a new ‘Star Chamber’ committee which will reduce red tape by 5% each year.”
