Speaking in the House of Commons on 23 February 2026

Debate

Industry and Exports (Financial Assistance) Bill

Contribution

My hon. Friend the Member for Halesowen (Alex Ballinger) asked me several questions, and about support for SMEs in particular. UKEF supported 496 SMEs in 2024-25 thanks in part to changes that have made it easier for smaller businesses to access UKEF funding and financing. I am determined to ensure that that continues.
