What Supporters Say The Rt Hon John Bercow MP, Speaker, House of Commons "I would like to congratulate the IPT on its 35 year anniversary. It was founded on the belief that developing better relationships between British Business and Parliament is key to building a prosperous economy. As the global economy remains fragile this partnership becomes crucial and it is here that the IPT continues to be as relevant as it has been since its creation."
