Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 9 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Trade and Investment for Growth White Paper.


Trade and Investment for Growth White Paper

I would not completely deprecate efforts to promote the aerospace industry—I am doing the same—but my hon. Friend is right to say that the key message of the statement is about SMEs. Compared with countries such as Germany, the number of our small businesses that export is relatively small, and we have to publicise that help through bodies such as the Federation of Small Businesses and the chambers of commerce, as well as through our website. We will be active in doing that.
