LDBN Papers

This page includes a number of policy papers and documents members of LDBN have contributed to or led on. Our Current Liberal Democrat Europe Motion was largely drafted by our policy arm, the Liberal Democrat Business & Economic Council (LDBEC). Our take on replacing business rates was led by LDBN Founder, Andrew Dixon and our Responsible Business Manifesto was led by LDBN Member Guy de Selliers. Our 'Tackling the Climate Emergency' policy paper was drafted by LDBN Board Member Mark Petterson and the LDBEC Working Group.
