BUSINESS was on the agenda as the four General Election candidates were put under the spotlight in a Question Time session. General Election candidates David Lock and Jim Millington taking part in Any Questions.

Members of Wyre Forest Business Forum grilled the candidates on everything from taxation and road infrastructure to the county health changes at Harry Cheshire High School.

Forum chairman Stephen Hodge said the one-and-a-half-hour debate, attended by about 50 people, was a lively affair which proved useful to members. Mark Simpson and Richard Taylor involved in the debate at Harry Cheshire High School.

Channel Four News was present at proceedings last Thursday and ran an item in that evening's programme.

Mr Hodge said: "Unfortunately, there was not enough time to get through all the questions but it was a very valuable session.

"It also gave the forum some very good exposure on national television."
