British Businesses Trust Parliament More than MPs
Price Bailey found 83% of business leaders trust Parliament to understand business needs, compared with 60% of MPs.
- Price Bailey's new report, Bridging the Divide 2026, surveyed 500 mid-market business leaders and over 100 MPs, revealing that business leaders express greater confidence in Parliament than MPs themselves do.
- While 83% of business leaders believe Parliament understands British business needs, only 60% of MPs agree; 76% of business leaders say Parliament delivers, yet just 47% of MPs concur.
- MP confidence rates are 23% and 29% lower than business leaders respectively, with a 9% drop since 2025 in MPs feeling Parliament understands needs; 34% of retail business leaders feel misunderstood.
- Chand Chudasama, strategic corporate finance partner and chairman at Price Bailey, noted MPs are 'notably more cautious' about Parliament's ability to support business, raising questions about alignment and effectiveness.
- Prime Minister Andy Burnham has positioned economic growth and business investment as key priorities; closing the gap between Parliament and business requires understanding how policy affects sectors differently at various growth stages.
