Dorset Chamber reaction – Liz Truss

Dorset Chamber chief executive Ian Girling said: “With the announcement of a new Conservative Party leader, the government can finally stop drifting and really focus on the critical issues at hand.
“In such a hugely challenging climate, we require strong leadership. Immediate areas upon which Ms Truss will need to concentrate are clearly the economy and obviously the need to get a serious grip on inflation and the energy crisis while giving business the support that it badly needs.
“We’ll also be inviting Ms Truss as new PM to Dorset to meet businesses and see the situation on the ground when time and circumstances allow.”
