Parliamentary candidates from Sutton and Cheam answered business related questions at a Sutton Chamber of Commerce VIP breakfast.
Conservative candidate Phillipa Stroud, Independent candidate Brian Hammond and Liberal Democrat candidate Paul Burstow attended.
Former Labour councillor Charlie Mansell stood in for Labour candidate Kathy Allen.
The event, aimed at businessmen and women concerned about the future of their businesses, asked questions such as how will my business be affected after the next election? And, what do the political parties have in store?
Topics of discussion included small businesses in Sutton, crime on the High Street, helping Sutton businesses to trade with Europe and cutting red tape for Sutton businesses and volunteer schemes.
Chairman of Sutton Chamber of Commerce David Duncan said: “We need to encourage new businesses to grow in Sutton and reduce red tape to facilitate this growth.
“This business environment is very important and as we have seen education and the family are also important factors in helping businesses.”
The breakfast was held at Holiday Inn Sutton.
