General Election updates
Life sciences in the public eye: what can we learn from the manifestoes?
The snap election has sent political parties’ machinery into overdrive to distil their policy development down into concrete manifestoes that pitch their offer to the electorate. With fewer than twenty days to go and the manifestoes of the main parties now published, the BIA policy team pick apart what each party is pledging for the life science sector.
The long and winding road: Labour’s plans for UK life sciences
A draft of the Labour Party’s policy framework was leaked in May, fuelling speculation about their plans for the UK’s life science sector. Herbie Lambden, Policy and Public Affairs Executive at the BIA, considers whether it’s too early to anticipate Labour’s offer to industry at the next General Election.
BIA webinar recording: The General Election
The UK general election has been called for Thursday 4 July. As parliament shuts down and the government goes quiet, each party will set out its economic vision for the country. The week before polling day, this webinar takes a look at what we’ve learned from the campaign and considers what various election outcomes could mean for the sector and its stakeholders. Watch the webinar to get the latest and to ask questions of the BIA team, and watch out for the post-election readout the week after for an analysis of the results and implications.
