I thank my hon. Friend for his question and his work on this agenda. I reassure him that, as the Chancellor set out this morning in his growth speech, we will work across Departments to ensure that we open up public procurement to smaller and start-up businesses, so that they stay here, rather than go elsewhere when they scale up?
Esther McVey (Tatton) (Con)
