Answer from Hansard

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

The Government-backed invest in women taskforce is addressing many of these issues through its ecosystem working group, which promotes better access to networks, to support and to procurement opportunities. My hon. Friend is absolutely right, though, to say that we need to go further. The small business strategy will set out a range of further measures in that regard.
