New Businesses: Women Asked by: Lauren Edwards (Labour - Rochester and Strood) Thursday 20th March 2025 Question to the Department for Business and Trade: To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what proportion of British Business Bank funding is dedicated to supporting female entrepreneurs by sector. Answered by Gareth Thomas - Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Department for Business and Trade) The British Business Bank delivers most programmes via third parties, limiting data on gender and sectoral breakdowns, however it aims to increase gender data in 2025.

As a founding signatory of the Investing in Women Code, the Bank supports women entrepreneurs by improving access to the tools, resources and finance they need. The Bank also collects data on equity finance for female entrepreneurs and is committed to enhancing data collection of its own equity finance activities. The Bank has also invested £50 million through existing programmes, supporting the Invest in Women Taskforce.

Select Committee Inquiry
7 Apr 2025 The work of the UK Statistics Authority Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee (Select) Submit Evidence (by 12 May 2025) The Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee will examine the performance of the UK Statistics Authority (UKSA), and its two executive offices, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) and the Office for Statistics Regulation (OSR). In light of recent debate and discussion about the efficacy of the UK’s employment figures, Committee members will explore whether issues with ONS’s Labour Force Survey are an anomaly, or whether issues with the organisation’s performance run deeper. In doing so, MPs will scrutinise some of ONS’s most important programmes: the Transformed Labour Force Survey, Integrated Data Service, and its reimagining of the traditional Census. Read the call for evidence for more detail about the inquiry.
