Methodology

CommunicateResearch surveyed 154 MPs between 7th June and 24th June 2005, using self-completion postal questionnaires. The sample comprised 80 Labour MPs, 51 Conservative MPs, 20 Liberal Democrats, and 3 MPs representing the smaller parties. Data were weighted to reflect the exact party composition and regional distribution of seats in the House of Commons. Data may not add up to 100 due to rounding.

Overview

• Different sources of information prove most influential for

MPs with regard to different industries. In general, lobbying by firms and individuals in MPs’ constituencies scored the highest number of ‘very influential’ ratings.

• With special regard to the manufacturing industry,

constituency firms and individuals are still most influential, followed by Parliamentary briefings, then other sources such as the media, and finally MPs’ own career backgrounds. This suggests perhaps that MPs generally have little inherent knowledge of the manufacturing industry, and that other lobbying methods are therefore doubly important.

• Respondents’ awareness of issues concerning the

manufacturing industry is generally low. Of nine ‘true or false?’ questions posed, only two provoked a significant majority of correct responses.

• Respondents are broadly in favour of supporting UK exports at the expense of encouraging foreign direct investment.

• Conservative respondents (and, to an extent, Lib Dems) are most enthusiastic about reducing taxes on business; conversely, Labour are the most sceptical.

• An unexpectedly small number of Labour MPs endorse their own government’s treatment of the manufacturing industry. This indicates that 48% of Labour MPs are either apathetic about or critical of their government’s relationship with the manufacturing industry.

• Participants from all parties believe that MPs should take a

greater role in leading the drive to cut red tape for business. The Conservatives are most enthusiastic about phasing out red tape in general.

Average % of MPs rating as ‘most influential’

The first table shows the percentage of MPs who rated each of the options as the most influential source of information about various sectors. It is evident that different sources supply knowledge most effectively in different industries. MPs’ own career backgrounds are the most crucial aid with respect to banking and insurance and business services, but the lobbying of firms or individuals within their constituencies are more influential in terms of construction, manufacturing and

retailing, and Parliamentary briefings are the most common source of information about the pharmaceuticals industry. Across the board of industries, firms and individuals in constituencies contribute most frequently towards MPs’ knowledge of the six sectors. Individual career backgrounds were next most influential, indicating that many MPs have interest and involvement in these industries before moving into politics. Parliamentary briefings and other sources are apparently least important on average, but a respectable 17% and 18% of MPs still name them as the most influential to them personally.

This table focuses on the manufacturing industry in more detail, to show the party breakdown of mean scores for each source of information. These scores are based on a ranking of 4 to 1, where 4 was most influential and 1 was least influential. The advantage of this methodology is that it takes into account the degrees of preference expressed by MPs’ second choice, third choice and fourth choice rankings. Once this is taken into account, we can see that the results differ from those illustrated in the first table. Overall, firms or individuals in constituencies are still the most reliable source of information for MPs, Parliamentary activities and sources come next with only a hair’s breadth between them, and MPs’ own

career backgrounds are least influential. This suggests perhaps that MPs generally have little inherent knowledge of the manufacturing industry, and that other lobbying methods are therefore doubly important. Analysis of the regional cross-breaks for mean scores revealed that respondents from Scotland and Northern Ireland were significantly more likely (by almost 1.0 points) to learn about the manufacturing industry from Parliamentary activities or briefings, and significantly less likely (by the same margin) to hear from firms or individuals in their constituencies. MPs from London were least likely to have learnt from a background in manufacturing, and most likely to have learnt through media sources.

Only 39% of MPs overall knew that manufacturing accounts for over 60% of exports from the UK. Labour MPs were by far the most knowledgeable, their correct response rate almost nudging 50% while the other parties failed to reach 30%. MPs whose constituencies are based in the South of England were by far the most likely to guess incorrectly - 72% , compared to the next highest regional category (London) at 58%.

% of correct responses

Just under half of MPs questioned guessed that in fact the UK imports more engineering products. This proximity to the 50% mark may well indicate pure guesswork- except, perhaps, in the case of the Conservatives, whose success rate approaches 60%. Again, MPs from the South scored the highest success rate, with 60% responding correctly- and female MPs were more successful too.

The results for this statement were far more encouraging; a total of 65% of respondents knew that the UK is in fact behind most leading industrialised countries in terms of its investment. The Conservatives were most likely to guess correctly, with almost four-fifths opting for ‘false’. Again, MPs from the South were overwhelmingly most likely to guess right- over three-quarters of them got the right answer. Female MPs also had a much higher success rate than male- 87% as opposed to 62%.

The success rates here are low once again, with under 40% of respondents from all parties guessing correctly but the Tories coming in especially low with only 20%.

Once again, it appears that few MPs are aware that in fact productivity has increased over the last ten years. Labour MPs proportionally registered most correct replies with 52%, but the weaker scores of the Lib Dems and Tories pull the overall correct response rate down to 46%. For the second time, female and male MPs record roughly similar scores, with 44% and 46% respectively.

This statement provoked a far more encouraging response than most of the others. 69% of MPs believe, correctly, that SME manufacturers struggle to deal with red tape and regulation. The Conservatives are most decisive, with the 100% success rate perhaps reflecting not only superior awareness of industry conditions but also a predisposition to criticize the Labour Government. This factor would explain too the similarly high Lib Dem response and the comparatively low Labour figure. It is worth noting, however, that despite Labour MPs’ assumed predisposition to defend their government’s policies, over half still believe that SME manufacturers ‘struggle to cope’, indicating scepticism about feasibility of those policies.

• In general, MPs’ awareness of issues surrounding the

manufacturing industry is low.

• Only two posed statements provoked any kind of correct consensus- ‘The UK spends a higher proportion of its GDP on investment than many other leading industrialised countries’ and ‘SME manufacturers struggle to cope with all the red tape and regulation they now have to deal with’. These engendered a correct response of 65% and 69% respectively.

• The rest of the questions gain correct responses from

around 31-48% of MPs, which indicates not only a large amount of guesswork, but also that respondents were overall far more likely to guess in favour of the wrong answer.

• The entirely opinion-based statement ‘UK government has

done more for manufacturing in the last four years than any other G8 government’ throws up an interesting response. Predictably enough, zero Conservative or Lib Dem MPs agree, but notably, only 52% of Labour MPs take the chance to endorse their own government by concurring. This means that 48% of Labour MPs are either apathetic about their government’s relationship with the manufacturing industry (9% did not reply) or critical of it (39% answered ‘false’).

Q3 Do you agree or disagree with each of these statements about government funded business support and the way companies are regulated?

• The DTI should concentrate more on supporting UK exports

than encouraging foreign direct investment • The regime for regional grant aid to companies should be

overhauled to minimise the distortive effects between regions

• My perception is that Businesslink generally does a good job • Instead of spending money on business support Government

would be better off using the cash to reduce business taxes • UK business taxes could be increased without harming

business performance • MPs should take a greater role in leading the drive to cut red

tape for business • Government policy encouraging UK manufacturers to invest

is crucial if the UK is to compete with emerging economies • Manufacturing should do more to engage with MPs • While family friendly policies are fine in principle, they place

a disproportionate burden on small firms • Companies that complain about over-regulation generally

have a good case to make

• Respondents show themselves to be broadly in favour of

supporting UK exports at the expense of encouraging foreign direct investment, with the Conservatives most enthusiastic.

• The Tories also voted overwhelmingly in favour of

overhauling the regime for regional grant aid to companies to minimise the distortive effects between regions, though the other parties were more cautious.

• The Conservatives and Liberal Democrats are sceptical that

Businesslink do a good job, although it gets a comfortable vote of confidence from Labour MPs.

• The Tories are in favour of reducing business taxes at the

expense of business support- so, to a lesser degree, are the Lib Dems- but Labour are extremely sceptical.

• All the parties record a negative score for the proposition

that UK business taxes could be increased without harming business performance, but the Tories lead the way with 100% voting against it.

• All parties record high positive scores for the suggestion

that MPs should take a greater role in leading the drive to cut red tape for business, indicating that in general they are interested in becoming involved in reforming UK business conditions.

• All parties, led by Labour, strongly approve the proposition

that government policy encouraging UK manufacturers to invest is crucial if the UK is to compete with emerging economies.

• Even higher ratings are scored for the statement that

manufacturing should do more to engage with MPs, demonstrating once more the extent of MPs’ potential interest in the sector.

• Labour MPs are comfortably in favour of family-friendly

policies, whereas the Conservatives overwhelmingly feel that they place a disproportionate burden on small firms.

• 95% of Conservative MPs feel that companies complaining

about over-regulation generally have a good case to make, and Lib Dems concur to a more moderate extent, but Labour MPs strongly disagree.
