East Midlands Chamber's Budget Submission to the Government

Created in partnership with businesses in the region, East Midlands Chamber’s Budget Submission to the UK Government follows our Manifesto for Growth 2024, released earlier in the year.

The Budget Submission outlines policy recommendations aimed at supporting economic growth, enhancing workforce development and boosting trade and investment in the East Midlands.

A Manifesto for Growth 2024

At the core of the Chamber’s lobbying activity, and directly influenced by our engagement with members, is our blueprint for economic growth, titled A Manifesto for Growth 2024.

The seven-page document, which was launched during a special reception at Westminster, sets out a series of national policies that would support businesses like those in our region to succeed and grow the national economy.

The Chamber's AGM will take place on 9 December at Toyota, Derby.
