With the Prime Minister calling a snap election set for 4 July, the BIA’s attention has turned to preparing for the next government. Meanwhile, Parliament Day, our flagship day of parliamentary engagement, has been postponed to the autumn. Official engagements with civil servants have also been restricted in accordance with the pre-election period of sensitivity.

With a general election widely expected to be called later this year, the BIA’s long-established relationships with senior parliamentarians have been of particular importance this quarter. From launching the Labour Party’s Life Science Sector Strategy in Stevenage in January to hosting Science Minister Andrew Griffith MP at our Gala Dinner, we continue to represent the sector at the highest levels.
