SMALL BUSINESSES AND THE SNOW

That this House recognises the negative impact that snow can have on small businesses; welcomes the report by the Federation of Small Businesses, Business Continuity-Let's Keep Britain Moving, which contains 14 recommendations to help keep businesses running through periods of adverse weather conditions; and calls on the Government to launch an inquiry to examine its response to heavy snowfall and to investigate further steps that must be taken to Keep Britain Moving in the future.
