The question

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what proportion of Government procurement spending went to SMEs in the South West in the last financial year.

Answered by Chris Ward

The Cabinet Office does not hold a central record of regional procurement spending for SMEs, meaning the figure for spend to SMEs in the South West last year is unavailable.
