Answer from Hansard
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Business and Trade (Gareth Thomas)

We also announced measures to give smaller firms, including those in Buckingham and Bletchley, better access to export protection insurance. The significant increase in the capacity of the British Business Bank will also help to improve access to capital for SMEs, including, potentially, in my hon. Friend’s constituency.
