BSIA reacts to the announcement of a majority Conservative Government

Following the outcome of the general election, the British Security Industry Association (BSIA) has reacted to the news of a majority Conservative Government.

James Kelly, Chief Executive of the BSIA, said: "Political engagement and public affairs have long been at the heart of the BSIA's activity, and we have worked hard over the last fifteen years to forge strong working relationships with the previous Labour and Coalition Governments. The continuation of this relationship is vital for the security of the nation, and as such this conservative government will need to be fully briefed of the importance of the private security industry in combating crime and terrorism"
