Speaking at a recent constituency meeting, Alan Haselhurst outlined future Conservative plans to breathe life into the jobs market through small business.

Alan Haselhurst said: "Jobs would be saved and entrepreneurs would be given the support they deserve. The statutory threshold over which Government can petition to make a business insolvent would be raised. We would boost social mobility by ending the unfair restrictions on people starting a business in social housing. Social tenants could become entrepreneurs, creating new jobs and opportunities.

Measures to prevent noise nuisance would remain in place. We would also make it easier for people to set up new enterprises by cutting the time it takes to launch one. Britain should become the fastest place in the world to start a business. Under Labour it takes twice as long to start one here than in the USA, Denmark or Hong Kong. The number of forms needed to register a new business will be cut, moving towards a “one click” registration model.

These changes come on top of Conservative plan to reduce small company corporate tax rates 20p, to make small business rate relief automatic in England, saving small firms up to £1,260 per year, and to abolish tax on jobs created by new business in the first two years of a Conservative Government.

This is the best way to get us out of recession and out of debt. Small businesses are more important than large companies in providing the jobs we need. If we help them they will help Britain to have hope of a better future.”
