London Chamber of Commerce and Industry looks for real answers following the triggering of Article 50

Commenting of the triggering of Article 50 Chief Executive of London Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Colin Stanbridge said: "Given that economic uncertainty was businesses' biggest cause for concern in the wake of the referendum, we hope that now Brexit negotiations are set to begin, businesses will be offered a greater sense of security.

"They will be looking for real answers to questions about the exiting process and trade negotiations as well as addressing the need for a London Visa to ensure that London is able to continue to access the skills it needs.

"However we also need to balance Brexit with the domestic agenda and make sure the government is listening to business concerns as the struggle with mounting costs."
