Gideon Amos

Liberal Democrat — Taunton and Wellington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 20 May 2026

Debate

Defence Readiness

Contribution

In the south-west where I come from, 96,000 jobs relate to defence, so it is a huge sector. In my town, SMEs are key to those jobs. Despite welcome changes, with the Defence Office for Small Business Growth from the MOD, portals are still unnavigable for many small businesses. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the MOD should do more to make contracts available for our small businesses and SMEs?
