Good presentation from Richard. Hopefully my conclusion is correct in that it does not apply to my business
Yet another example of our government putting more unpaid work onto small businesses whilst claiming that they are making our life easier. One thing that you can rely on during these testing times. Be it a politician or a civil non-servant. They will lie to you.
