UK in 'wonderful position' for EU negotiations

A poll of 600 small business leaders has suggested that the EU hinders small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

The poll was funded by Howard Shore, the executive chairman of the investment firm, Shore Capital, who says deregulation in areas such as employment law and health and safety legislation will help the UK compete on a global basis.

Mr Shore, a key Conservative donor, says the UK is in the driving seat of future negotiations with the EU.

He spoke to BBC Business Editor Kamal Ahmed.
