The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to support SMEs to benefit from trade and investment opportunities under the UK-Indonesia Economic Growth Partnership in Buckingham and Bletchley constituency.

By 2030 Indonesia is predicted to be the 16th largest economy globally, and the 9th largest by 2050.
