Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the National Disability Strategy, published on 28 July 2021, when his Department plans to publish proposals to ensure that every disabled person who wants to start a business has the opportunity to do so.

The Secretary of State has committed to publishing an Enterprise Strategy. This includes a focus on giving every disabled person that wants to start a business the opportunity to do so, including entrepreneurs with disabilities. The strategy is under development and will be published this year. Engagement has already taken place with disabled entrepreneurs and representative organisations, as well as with the relevant government departments.
