Simon Danczuk MP has been elected the new chairman of the All Party Parliamentary Small Shops Group (APPSSG).
The APPSSG is a cross party group made up MPs and Lords interested in small shops and the social and economic value they play within our communities up and down the country.
Mr Danczuk said: “I am looking forward to taking on the chairmanship of this group; as a small business owner myself I understand the stresses and strains of running a business and I want to make sure my parliamentary colleagues do too.
"Our economy is very dependent on entrepreneurs like small shop owners who create jobs and growth in the economy.”
The next meeting of the APPSSG will take place in September when parliament returns from summer recess.
