The All Party Furniture Group
The BFC is represented in parliament by the All Party Furniture Group,
which seeks to defend the interests of the industry and raise its agenda
in Westminster. The APFG is chaired by Madeleine Moon MP (Bridgend) and
draws members from across the political spectrum and both chambers of
Parliament. It meets regularly to question senior politicians on policy
related to the industry, such as the Rt Hon Angela Eagle MP (Financial
Secretary at HM Treasury); Stephen Timms MP (Minister of State at the
Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform); and key stakeholders,
such as Ian Harrison from the East Midlands Regional Development Authority.
