Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the statement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on 29 July (HC Deb cols 1033–40), how many small businesses working directly as Government contractors or suppliers have had work or expected work cancelled for departmental savings; how many Government contracts with small business have been cancelled or postponed; and what arrangements they have put in place to ensure small businesses do not have to carry the burden of new tendering for the same or similar work.

The government does not collate this information centrally.
