Answer from Hansard

The Minister of State, Department for Business and Trade (Chris Bryant)

Without our small businesses, we as a country are nothing, which is why we have published the first small business strategy in 10 years. We are going to change the law to tackle late payment, unlock billions to support businesses to invest, and revitalise the British high street.
