Priti Patel honoured with Asian Trader Editor's Award

Indian-origin British MP Priti Patel has been honoured with the prestigious Asian Trader Editor's Award for her tireless campaigning to support small shops and convenience stores.

Priti, the British Prime Minister's recently appointed Indian Diaspora Champion, won the award at a ceremony held at the Park Plaza Westminster Bridge Hotel here last night. Priti has supported the grocery sector by campaigning for tougher punishments for offenders who commit retail crime, reforms to business rates and cuts to red tape.
