Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, what recent discussions he has had with the Welsh Government about creation of the Small Business Conciliation Service.

Through the forthcoming Enterprise Bill, this Government will introduce measures to create a Small Business Conciliation Service to help small businesses resolve business-to-business disputes.

The Government will shortly seek views on the scope and functions of this new service to ensure it has real impact. We will engage with each of the devolved administrations, including the Welsh Government during this process.
