Written Answers
Step-families
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Wednesday 2nd September 2026

Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, are there any plans to review the legal situation around step-parents having a relationship with their adult step-children, in the same way as has been done in Scotland.

Answered by Jake Richards - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Justice)

Under the Sexual Offences Act 2003, a step-parent or former step-parent commits an offence if they engage in sexual activity with a step-child under 18 in circumstances where the child has lived in the same household as them or they have been regularly involved in the child's care. It is not, however, a criminal offence for a step-parent or former step-parent to have a consensual sexual relationship with an adult step-child.

This differs from Scotland, where section 2 of the Criminal Law (Consolidation) (Scotland) Act 1995 makes it an offence, subject to certain exceptions, for a step-parent or former step-parent to have sexual intercourse with a step-child or former step-child if that step-child is either under 21, or before they turned 18, has lived in same household and been treated as a child of the family.

The Government keeps the criminal law under review. However, those aged 18 and over are adults rather than children, and there is a balance required between protecting vulnerable individuals and respecting the autonomy of consenting adults. Therefore, we currently have no plans to change the law in England and Wales on familial sex offences so that it aligns with the law in Scotland.

Fisheries: Quotas
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Thursday 3rd September 2026

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what plans has she got to reduce the quotas next year that are set for (a) mackerel (b) whitebait and (c) sand eels.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The UK Government works with international partners to set annual catch limits for shared fish stocks, informed by the best available scientific advice on the state of those stocks. When setting fishing opportunities for 2027, we will continue to balance the requirements of the Fisheries Act and Joint Fisheries Statement.

For mackerel, no decisions have been made on fishing opportunities for 2027. The relevant coastal States, including the UK, will consider the scientific advice when it becomes available and discuss catch limits and management measures during the annual autumn negotiations.

The term ‘whitebait’ may be used to describe a range of small and young fish species, including forage fish. Any decisions on catch limits or management measures will therefore depend on the stock concerned. Since March 2024, the UK Government has prohibited the fishing of sandeels within English waters and, from 2021, the UK has not allocated its sandeel quota to be fished.

The UK Government recognises the ecological importance of forage fish species, including sprat, herring and sandeel, for the role they play as a food source within the marine ecosystem and that their function and role should be considered when setting fishing opportunities.

Trade Agreements: Faroe Islands
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Thursday 3rd September 2026

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 8 July 2026 to Question 15879 on Trade Agreements: Faroe Islands, who the current United Kingdom members of the Joint Committee are.

Answered by Chris McDonald - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

As the UK-Faroe Islands Joint Committee is an official level committee, there is no standing committee membership. It is attended by the relevant trade officials from the UK’s Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, and the Faroe Islands’ Ministry of Foreign Affairs each year.

Trade Agreements: Faroe Islands
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Thursday 3rd September 2026

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, pursuant to the Answer of 8 July 2026 to Question 15879 on Trade Agreements: Faroe Islands, when the next meeting is scheduled to take place.

Answered by Chris McDonald - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

Whilst no set date has been determined for the 2027 Joint Committee at this time, the Joint Committee is held annually with the latest being held on 3rd June 2026. The previous committee was also held in June.

Pupils: Disability Aids
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 7th September 2026

Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment her Department has undertaken into the functionality of free mainstream spelling and grammar software for students with specific learning difficulties and other disabilities compared with specialist assistive technology funded through Disabled Students' Allowance.

Answered by Josh MacAlister - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Education)

The department has conducted a detailed review of the spelling and grammar functionality available in computer operating systems, free software products and paid-for software products. This review concluded that free-to-access products provide similar spelling and grammar support functionality to those available in paid-for products for the types of support that are in scope of Disabled Students' Allowance (DSA).

As a result, from March 2025, the department removed funding for non-specialist spelling and grammar products through DSA other than in exceptional circumstances, as outlined at: https://www.practitioners.slc.co.uk/media/2070/ssin-spelling-and-grammar-software.pdf.

Cars: China
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 7th September 2026

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what consideration has been given to imposing additional tariffs on Chinese car imports.

Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) (Jointly with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The Government is continuing to monitor the impact of imports on the UK automotive sector. Where there is sufficient evidence of harm caused by unfair trading practices, industries may apply to the independent Trade Remedies Authority (TRA), which conducts trade remedy investigations. Where appropriate, the TRA may recommend measures to protect UK industries. The Government uses trade remedies transparently, in line with domestic legislation and World Trade Organization rules.

Bus Services: Older People
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 7th September 2026

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of introducing a trial that would allow those with an older person's bus pass to travel before 9.30am on weekdays at a reduced cost of £1.

Answered by Simon Lightwood - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The English National Concessionary Travel Scheme (ENCTS) currently provides free off-peak bus travel to eligible older and disabled people and costs around £795 million annually in reimbursement costs to operators. Any change to the statutory concession would therefore need to be carefully considered for its impact on the scheme’s financial sustainability. The Government has recently announced that, from April 2027, holders of a disabled person’s bus pass will be able to travel free of charge at all hours.

Local authorities in England already have powers to provide discretionary concessions in addition to the statutory ENCTS entitlement, including offering travel before 9.30am at a reduced fare or free of charge. Any such additional concessions are determined and funded locally, taking account of local needs and priorities.

Barbecues: Public Spaces
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what consideration has been given to banning disposable BBQs from use in public spaces.

Answered by Jenny Riddell-Carpenter - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

Retailers have already been informed that disposable barbecues must be removed from sale immediately. The temporary measure will remain under review but will stay in place while the heightened wildfire risk continues.

Paternity Leave: Self-employed
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what consideration he has given to introducing six weeks of statutory paternity leave, paid at 90% of earnings, with provision for self-employed parents.

Answered by Kate Dearden - Minister of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade)

The arrival of a child is a transformative time in a family’s life, and it is important that parents can take time away from work in the months following childbirth. We know that more can be done to support working families, which is why we launched the Parental Leave and Pay Review last year. All current parental leave and pay entitlements, including Paternity Leave and Pay, are in scope of the Review.

The Review is exploring how the system can better support working families, reflect the realities of modern work and childcare, balance the needs of parents, employers and the Exchequer. It is also looking at whether the support available meets the needs of other working families who do not qualify for existing entitlements — including the self-employed. The Review will conclude in early 2027 with a set of findings, and Government will outline next steps for implementing any reforms.

Airports: Fees and Charges
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what consideration has been given to (a) capping or (b) abolishing airport dropping -off charges.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The setting of vehicle drop-off charges is a commercial matter for individual airport operators to decide and justify to their customers.

We are clear that airports must ensure that information about parking options and charges that apply is easily accessible to passengers and that parking and drop-off arrangements support the safe and efficient operation of the airport.

Fruit Juices: Cider
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 7th September 2026

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, whether consideration has been given to the potential merits of imposing new regulations for a minimum juice content of 50% in all cider and perry products.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

This Government currently has no plans to change the rules governing minimum juice content in cider and perry. The current minimum juice content requirements provide flexibility for producers, support product variety and innovation, and maintain consumer choice.

Gyms: VAT
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 7th September 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether HM Treasury has ever commissioned or received any analysis of the net fiscal effect of applying a reduced rate of VAT to gyms and fitness businesses, taking into account potential reductions in NHS expenditure and other public costs associated with physical inactivity.

Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General

Addressing physical inactivity and getting people moving more is important for improving people’s health, reducing demand on the National Health Service, and supporting economic growth.

The leisure and fitness sector play an important role in supporting the Government’s sickness to prevention shift through providing affordable and accessible opportunities for people to increase their activity levels.

VAT is a broad-based tax on consumption, and the 20 per cent standard rate applies to most goods and services. VAT is the UK’s second largest tax, forecast to raise £180 billion in 2025/26.

Tax breaks reduce the revenue available for vital public services and must represent value for money for the taxpayer. Exceptions to the standard rate have always been limited and balanced against affordability considerations.

One of the key considerations when assessing a new VAT relief is whether the cost saving is likely to be passed on to consumers. Evidence suggests that businesses often only partially pass on any savings from lower VAT rates.

Sheep Meat: Import Controls
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 7th September 2026

Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if she will ban imports of lamb meat from territories which allow routine castration and tail docking of lambs.

Answered by Stephen Morgan - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs)

The Government shares the public’s high regard for the UK’s environmental protections, food standards and animal welfare.

As set out in the UK’s Trade Strategy, the Government will not lower food standards and will uphold high animal welfare standards. While production methods vary in line with different climates, diseases, and other contextual reasons, this Government will always consider whether overseas goods benefit from an unfair advantage and any impact on UK producers. Where necessary, the Government will use the full range of powers at government’s disposal, including permanent quotas, exclusions and safeguards.

Stamp Duty Land Tax
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what consideration his Department has given to (a) reforming and (b) abolishing stamp duty.

Answered by James Murray - Financial Secretary to the Treasury and Paymaster General

Stamp Duty Land Tax (SDLT) is an important source of Government revenue, raising around £14 billion each year. The structure of SDLT ensures that those buying the most expensive properties contribute the most.

Carer's Allowance
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what consideration has been given to increasing the earnings limit for those in receipt of the carer's allowance.

Answered by Stephen Timms - Minister of State (Ministry of Housing Communities and Local Government) (Equalities)

The Government has taken steps to improve Carer’s Allowance (CA), including basing the weekly earnings limit on a calculation of 16 hours work at the level of the National Living Wage. The increase in April 2025 was the largest in the earnings limit since CA was introduced in 1976 and the highest percentage increase since 2001. This £500 million investment is expected to enable over 60,000 additional people to receive CA between 2025/26 and 2029/30. The current earnings limit is £204 a week net earnings, including allowable deductions. The earnings limit for 2027/28 will be set out later this year.

Electric Bicycles and Electric Scooters: Regulation
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment her Department has made of the potential merits of introducing a DVLA registration scheme for (a) e-bikes and (b) e-scooters.

Answered by Justin Madders - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

Private e-scooters are illegal to use on public roads, but the Government has committed to legislative reform when parliamentary time allows, to create safe and legal routes. We will consider registration for e-scooters as part of that, and we will be consulting on e-scooter regulations over the next year.

There are no plans to require a registration system for cyclists. This would be complex and expensive to design and administer. E-bikes that do not meet the definition of an Electrically Assisted Pedal Cycle already require registration to be used lawfully on the road. Enforcement is a matter for the police.

Trade Agreements: Faroe Islands
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what plans he has to review the inclusion of (a) animal welfare and (b) environmental conservation provisions within the UK-Faroe Islands Free Trade Agreement.

Answered by Chris McDonald - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

There are currently no plans to review the UK-Faroe Islands FTA to add further provisions. However, the Government acknowledges that these are important issues, which UK officials raise with the Faroes at every opportunity, including at the latest Joint Committee in June 2026.

A400M Aircraft
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the RAF A400M fleet can be used as Fire Fighting Tankers.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for the Armed Forces)

Responsibility for responding to wildfires in the UK rests with the relevant civil authorities and emergency services, with military support potentially available where requested through established Military Aid to the Civil Authorities (MACA) arrangements on a case-by-case basis. This includes consideration of a clear need for military assistance, whether the requirement is beyond the capability or capacity of the civil authority, and whether support can be provided without unacceptably prejudicing Defence's primary tasks, operational commitments, and readiness.

The Ministry of Defence does not currently hold a requirement to provide a dedicated domestic aerial firefighting capability (including a fixed-wing aerial firefighting capability). However, Defence retains limited aerial firefighting capabilities to support standing tasks overseas. As part of this, Defence maintains a helicopter-based aerial firefighting capability in Cyprus for the specific purpose of meeting our obligations to the Sovereign Base Areas and wider communities during periods of heightened wildfire risk.

The Ministry of Defence has not conducted a specific impact assessment on the absence of a dedicated military aerial firefighting capability, nor a specific assessment of the economic impact arising from that absence.

The Department is aware of the Airbus A400M aerial firefighting system currently under development and testing by the manufacturer. Consequently, the Department has no plans to adapt the RAF A400M Atlas fleet for aerial firefighting purposes, or to procure dedicated water-bombing helicopters or water-bombing equipment for the military helicopter fleet.

AUKUS: Nuclear Submarines
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 8th September 2026

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will take steps to affiliate one of the Royal Navy's AUKUS submarines to Poole.

Answered by Luke Pollard - Minister of State (Ministry of Defence)

I welcome the constituency interest and thank his constituents for their continued support of HMS Cattistock, the ship currently affiliated to Poole. The proposal will be considered through the Royal Navy’s regular affiliation planning process. The Royal Navy seeks, over time, to affiliate ships with communities across the country, with affiliations made at borough, town, city or county level.

Ophthalmology
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Tuesday 15th September 2026

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether plans are in place to ask the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to develop guidelines and quality standards for vision rehabilitation.

Answered by James Frith - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department of Health and Social Care)

There are no plans to ask the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence to develop guidelines and quality standards for vision rehabilitation.

I refer the Hon. Member to the answer provided on 30 June 2026 to Question 13055 for further information.

Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs: Weather
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Wednesday 16th September 2026

Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what plans are currently being considered to make Britain more resilient to extreme weather.

Answered by Dan Jarvis - Minister of State (Home Office) (Security) (Jointly with the Cabinet Office)

Enhancing Britain’s resilience to extreme weather events requires coordination and collaboration between different Government departments. The Cabinet Office is the lead government department responsible for severe weather, including severe storms, extreme heat and extreme cold. The Cabinet Office plays a coordinating role, bringing together departments with responsibility for leading the response planning and longer term resilience of the sectors they represent.

Work is underway across government to increase resilience to extreme weather events. From £710 million to fund upgrades to the school estate to the construction of nine new reservoirs across the country. Between April 2024 and March 2026, the government invested £2.65 billion to construct new flood schemes and repair existing defences. Funding for the fire service has also increased by £100 million and water companies have been directed to step-up their work to fix leaks and preserve water.

In July, we announced that we will be delivering a campaign to raise awareness of the simple steps households can take to keep themselves safe during everyday emergencies, like extreme weather. We’ll be announcing more information and beginning the campaign later this year.

Carers
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 14th September 2026

Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, whether her Department has considered introducing reforms to the social care system including (a) mandatory registration of private live-in carers, (b) mandatory Enhanced DBS checks for live-in carers, (c) mandatory nationally recognised training for live-in carers and (d) a National Register of live-in carers.

Answered by Alison McGovern - Minister of State (Department of Health and Social Care)

On 29 July, as set out in the link below, the Prime Minister set out his objectives to reform the social care system, and brought forward the timetable for Baroness Casey’s commission to inform that reform programme:

https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pm-sets-out-new-path-to-fix-social-care-together-29-july-2026

This will combine the work originally set out as two separate phases, so that a single set of recommendations will cover both the immediate improvements the system needs now, and the longer-term transformation required to meet demographic change. The commission’s Terms of Reference are deliberately broad to enable Baroness Casey to independently consider how to build a social care system fit for the future, including how to improve national oversight if she sees fit. We will continue to update Parliament on a regular basis.

Animal Experiments
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 14th September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she is taking steps to amend Section 24 of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 (ASPA) so that it complies with the latest court ruling in relation to Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government is carefully considering the implications of the recent Upper Tribunal judgment concerning Section 24 of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Section 24 will remain in force while that work is undertaken.

Animal Experiments
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 14th September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps are being taken to comply with Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights in relation to information surrounding animal experiments.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Government is carefully considering the implications of the recent Upper Tribunal judgment concerning Section 24 of the Animals (Scientific Procedures) Act 1986 and Article 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights. Section 24 will remain in force while that work is undertaken.

Cameras: Wearable Technology
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Monday 14th September 2026

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, what consideration she has given to introducing a ban on the sale and use of camera-equipped smart glasses.

Answered by Stephanie Peacock - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport)

The Government takes the protection of personal data and privacy very seriously, whilst recognising that connected and assistive technologies can deliver significant benefits to users. The UK’s data protection legislation applies to the processing of personal data by organisations, regardless of the technology being used, including connected and AI-enabled devices such as smart glasses.

All organisations that process personal data must comply with the UK's data protection legislation, including requirements to process personal data lawfully, fairly, transparently and securely. The Information Commissioner's Office, the UK's independent data protection regulator, has published guidance for organisations developing and deploying connected products and services, including smart glasses (see https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/online-tracking/guidance-for-consumer-internet-of-things-products-and-services/ ).

There are no current plans to introduce a ban on the sale or use of camera-equipped smart glasses, but the Government will continue to monitor this area closely.

Rolling Stock: Procurement
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Friday 11th September 2026

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what assessment she has made of alternative funding models for rolling stock procurement under GBR such as those highlighted in ASLEF's Own Our Trains campaign which could result in publicly owned trains.

Answered by Keir Mather - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Department for Transport)

The Government is considering its long-term approach to rolling stock procurement and financing as part of wider rail reform and the establishment of Great British Railways (GBR).

This includes the development of a long-term Rolling Stock and Infrastructure Strategy, which will take a whole-system approach to future rolling stock needs, procurement and financing. The Strategy will set out the Government's long-term approach to ensuring rolling stock and supporting infrastructure deliver a reliable, efficient and sustainable railway for passengers while securing value for money for taxpayers. The Strategy will be published later this year.

Undercover Policing Inquiry
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Thursday 10th September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Undercover Policing Inquiry will be brought to an end before it has heard from all eligible participants.

Answered by Sarah Jones - Minister of State (Home Office)

The Home Office established the Undercover Policing Inquiry in 2015 to inquire into and report on undercover police operations conducted by English and Welsh police forces in England and Wales since 1968. The Inquiry’s investigations continue and hearings for Tranche 3 are ongoing. This tranche covers the activities of the Special Demonstration Squad during the years 1967 to 2007. Further details on the progress of the Inquiry can be found at: https://www.ucpi.org.uk/.

On 16 July 2026, the Government launched a public consultation on the future of the Undercover Policing Inquiry. Responses can be submitted up to 23:59 on Sunday 20th September, and further information about the consultation can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/future-of-the-undercover-policing-inquiry/consultation-on-the-future-of-the-undercover-policing-inquiry.

The purpose of the consultation is to gather views on the future of the Inquiry from those affected including core participants, stakeholders and the wider public. No decisions have been taken about the future of the Inquiry.

Undercover Policing Inquiry
Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Thursday 10th September 2026

Question to the Home Office:

Asked by: Neil Duncan-Jordan (Labour - Poole)
Wednesday 9th September 2026

Question to the Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade, what support is available to MedTech SMEs to assist them with developing their exports.

Answered by Blair McDougall - Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State (Department for Business, Innovation, Science and Trade) (Jointly with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero)

The Department has integrated its support for businesses in a single, accessible place – the Business Growth Service – to help firms, including those in the MedTech sector, start, scale and succeed. From tailored market advice to free Business Academy training and our on-the-ground network around the world, we are making it easier for businesses to navigate global markets and seize opportunities.

UK Export Finance, the UK’s export credit agency, can also support businesses of all sizes across the UK. In January, UKEF announced the SME Exporter Fund which will give SMEs the confidence they need to invest, grow and expand into global markets.
