In his role as Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group for Small and Micro Business, Robert hosted a special session of the group with Small Business Minister, Kelly Tolhurst.
Robert led the discussion which was wide-ranging and covered topics including: late payments, VAT, business rates, and how we can support our high street retailers.
Robert said: "This was a really useful session, during which we explored some of the main issues causing concern to small businesses. I am grateful to the Small Business Minister for engaging on this vital matters."
