On 2 October my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State announced the appointment of the first Small Business Commissioner, who will tackle unfair payment practices by providing general information and advice, direct small businesses to existing services and handle complaints about payment issues, thus supporting Britain’s 5.5 million small businesses. Our small businesses are the backbone of our economy, and removing barriers to their growth is a key part of a dynamic, market economy. Our Industrial Strategy will ensure a competitive market that supports new businesses and innovation.
