Defence: Small Businesses
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to support defence SMEs.
Answered by Luke Pollard
We’re delivering on our Defence Industrial Strategy; we have created the Office for Small Business Growth; we are simplifying defence sector processes under commercial pathways. We aim to make the UK a top location for defence businesses, pledging an extra £2.5 billion spend by 2028 and addressing SME feedback on sector complexity.
