Mark Prisk MP |
Mark Prisk is a familiar name to readers of Shout99 and has been actively involved in campaigns for small businesses since becoming MP for Hertford and Stortford in 2001. He will be working closely with Alan Duncan MP , Shadow Secretary of State for the Department of Trade & Industry.
Mr. Prisk, 43, is a Chartered Surveyor and ran his own business consultancy for ten years before entering Parliament. Since then he has actively promoted the cause of small businesses and the self employed; is the Treasurer of the all-party Parliamentary Small Business Group; is Vice President of the Small Business Bureau; and is President of his own constituency business group, the Westminster Club.
Mr. Prisk said: "I'm delighted to have this chance to speak up for the self-employed and small businesses. Having been self-employed for a decade, before being elected to Parliament, I know what's involved, and how important small businesses are to our economy and our communities. I believe that Gordon Brown is holding enterprise back in this country and that it's time we changed how small businesses are treated. It's time to free enterprise."

He has also actively campaigned against the confusion caused by the implementation of Section 660, the so-called married couple's business tax.
