In response to the news that a General Election will be held on July 4th, our Director of Policy and Government Affairs, Lisa Hayley-Jones, said:
“Now the election has been called, we look forward to the publication of the party manifestos.
Advertising is one of the UK’s domestic and international success stories and our growth helps power the rest of the economy.
To help us continue this success, we need the next government to prioritise policies which improve creative education and skills, investment in the creative industries across the nations and regions, and long-term economic security and growth. We also need regulatory certainty and continued support for the ASA and the broader self-regulatory system.
Whatever the outcome of the general election, we will continue our close engagement with the new government and Parliament, highlighting the strength and importance of our industry in driving responsible growth for the UK.”
