Question to the Department for Business and Trade:

To ask His Majesty's Government when the British Bank Business last underwent a board effectiveness review, and whether they will place a copy of that review in the Library of the House.

The British Business Bank reviews its board in accordance with the Cabinet Office guidance on Board Effectiveness Reviews, which includes an annual review that is externally facilitated every three years. The findings are included in BBB's Annual Report and Accounts, with a copy placed in the Library of the House. The most recent review was carried out in March 2025 and will be reported in BBB's 2025 Annual Report and Accounts, due for publication later in 2025.
