Thurso meets local fishermen to discuss impact of recession
January 9, 2009 12:00 AM
John Thurso has taken a key part in a Lib Dem survey of businesses across the country. The survey was set up in December by Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg MP who asked MPs to spend time with local businesses over the Christmas break to see how they are coping with the recession.
Their experiences will be reported back to the first parliamentary party meeting of the new year.
Visits included:
- Liberal Democrat Shadow Business Secretary, John Thurso meeting local fishermen
- Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable visiting Haymarket publishing
- Liberal Democrat Small Business Spokesperson, Lorely Burt visiting a Solihull telecommunications company
Commenting, Nick Clegg said:
"Businesses up and down the country are feeling the brunt of the recession.
"My colleagues and I have been out talking to businesses to see how they are coping during the economic crisis.
"At our first parliamentary party meeting of the new year next week, the Liberal Democrats will be discussing what extra support businesses will need to see them through the downturn."
