At a parliamentary reception in the House of Commons Terrace on 9 February 2016, the NFRN launched its 2016 Agenda. Hosted by Guto Bebb, the MP for Aberconwy and Chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Retail Crime, the reception was attended by over 50 MPs and nearly 80 NFRN members.

With a strong focus on retail crime, the agenda outlines the key challenges facing independent retailers and contains several recommendations the NFRN would like to see adopted by the government.
