Maggie Throup
I completely agree. I would like to invite the hon. Gentleman to be a member of the all-party parliamentary group.
Sir Greg Knight (East Yorkshire) (Con)
Does my hon. Friend agree that when we talk of furniture manufacturers, we are referring not just to large factories in city centres? Many small rural towns and villages have small enterprises making furniture.
Maggie Throup
I completely agree. This is something that I think we underestimate: furniture manufacturing is happening across the country and has a great input into our economy.
