Liverpool news anchor Peter Sissons will chair a panel of political speakers in a Question Time debate in March.
Small businesses will fire questions at the news reporter at the Federation of Small Businesses’ (FSB) Annual Conference.
The panel will also feature Liverpool MP Luciana Berger.
The conference, from 17-19 March at the BT Convention Centre in Liverpool, will see an all-party line-up ready to answers questions from small businesses on anything from growing the recovery to measures they’ll take to support small firms.
As public sector cuts start to bite and the country looks to a recovery plan, former BBC 6 o’clock and 10 o’clock news reader, Peter Sissons will use his interview skills to chair an all-party line-up featuring Luciana Berger MP (Labour), Jake Berry MP (Conservative), Gordon Birtwistle MP (Liberal Democrat) and Brian Binley MP (Conservative), as well as the FSB’s UK Policy Chairman, Mike Cherry.
More than 750 delegates will have the chance to ask questions to the panel and join in the debate.

"The year ahead is set to be a difficult one for small firms, as they try to do all they can to grow, innovate and help rebuild the economy.
"This debate will be a prime opportunity for small businesses to see how the political parties will really help them through a tough 2011.”
