An electrically conductive member (10) includes an elongate body (11) which has at least one electrically conductive region (20). The electrically conductive region (20) comprises a porous polymeric material coated with an electrically conductive material. A method of manufacturing the electrically conductive member (10) includes the steps of extruding an elongate body of polymeric material wherein at least one region of the elongate body is porous in nature; and coating said elongate body with an electrically conductive material such that the electrically conductive material substantially coats the pores of said at least one region.
