The Federation of Small Businesses has said that voters who own small businesses and those who are self employed will be looking for the party which are "pro-growth" to stimulate the economy.

National Chair of the FSB Martin McTague, said, "Small business owners and self-employed people across the country will be looking for which party puts forward the most compelling pro-growth, pro-business policies to stimulate the economy and encourage entrepreneurship.

"There will be fierce competition for their votes at this election, and those competing will need a convincing plan to bring down the cost of doing business , support small businesses to grow, and create the right conditions to encourage new businesses to start up.
