Business Continuity Institute Briefs UK Parliament on Business Continuity
As part of its Business Continuity Awareness Week activities the Business Continuity Institute recently organized and delivered a briefing session for Members of Parliament (MPs) in London, England.
Held at the House of Commons on Tuesday 24th March, the session was chaired by Lord Cotter with speakers including Angela Robinson, FBCI, Chair of the BCI; Martin Caddick, MBCI, SVP at Marsh; and John Tesh, deputy director at the UK government Cabinet Office. The Chartered Management Institute was also represented.
In addition to informing MPs about the importance of business continuity management for the UK economy overall, specific advice was offered on how small businesses in their respective constituencies could benefit from BCM in the current economic downturn.
Feedback received from MPs will be used to inform future formats for engagement with MPs and help build greater awareness and understanding for future legislation such as the revision of the Civil Contingencies Act.
