MORECAMBE and Lunesdale MP David Morris has been appointed as the government’s new self-employed ambassador.
Tory Mr Morris will will bang the drum for freelancers throughout the UK. He said: "It was an honour to be appointed as the Government's self-employed ambassador by the Prime Minister. As a self-employed businessman myself, for nearly 30 years before I came into Parliament I know only too well how Government’s policy effects those who are self-employed.
"I believe our self-employed and small businessmen are the lifeblood for the economic recovery and believe that stripping back the burden of red tape and taxation will allow freelancers to flourish."
