POLITICAL parties in the UK must form a strong government to prevent further financial uncertainty in the markets, business leaders have said.

That was the consensus of opinion at a Chamber of Commerce post-election seminar yesterday.

Chief minister Lyndon Trott made up part of the panel and painted a relatively bleak picture for the audience below him.

‘It is inevitable there will be inflationary pressures in the UK. It’s something that all businesses need to watch carefully, although it is outside our control.’

He was speaking prior to Conservative leader David Cameron’s speech in which he offered a deal to the Liberal Democrats.
