Lord Baker of Dorking (Con)
Before the noble Lord sits down, can I ask him about SMEs?
Lord in Waiting/Government Whip (Lord Leong) (Lab)
I am sorry, the noble Lord should not be intervening because he is not on the speakers’ list.
Lord Stockwood (Lab)
The question was well made. I can tell the noble Lord that it is important and that there is a whole strategy with UKEF and the Government to ensure that the opportunity that the Bill creates is articulated to the SME community as well.
With that in mind, I thank noble Lords from across the House for this informed debate. It is with great pleasure that I beg to move.
