The trade association's document sets out its current concerns on eight key issues facing the print industry, and the actions it believes the government needs to take.

It also includes promoting print, VAT zero-rating, energy and environment, postal services, public services, pension schemes and skill development.

The BPIF has called for change in these areas, which includes automatic scrutiny of the directors' and administrators' actions by an independent body in relation to pre-pack administrations, or the simplification of business support programmes.

All MPs will also receive a personalised letter that informs them of BPIF member businesses in their local constituencies.

BPIF corporate affairs director Andrew Brown said it is hoped that this will encourage MPs to visit local printers.

He said: "With 232 new MPs in this intake, we need to brief them and other MPs on our industry concerns.

"Priorities for Print sets these out succinctly, with a call for specific actions that we believe government should be taking to address each of them."

Each MP is also invited to consider becoming a member of the All-Party Parliamentary Print Group, which is supported by the BPIF in conjunction with Unite.

MPs are invited to attend the group's annual reception on 6 July at the House of Commons.
