The objective of the British Business Bank is to ensure that finance markets work more effectively for smaller businesses. In achieving this objective, the Business Bank does not lend to or invest directly in any smaller business and instead works through and invests alongside private sector providers such as banks, peer to peer lenders, leasing companies or venture capital funds which offer a wide range of finance products.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

As part of its remit, the Business Bank regularly monitors the performance of programmes by collecting a range of data, including the ethnic background of business owners, for a number of key programmes, such as Start Up Loans. The latest data shows that as of August 31, 26% of Start Up Loans recipients identified themselves to be either Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic (BAME) businesses. Around 300,000 (6%) of small and medium-sized enterprises in the UK are BAME led.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

In addition, Business Bank officials and I regularly meet with key stakeholders to discuss and better understand the broader finance needs of different types of smaller businesses, in order to ensure that Business Bank programmes are targeted to address market failures.<\/p>

UK Government Departments promote and support foreign direct investment, and the jobs that it can bring or safeguard, on an equal basis in all regions of the UK.<\/p>

For inward investment, UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) teams are structured to support the overall strategy of promoting the \u201cUK First\u201d, putting forward the areas of the UK best able to meet the requirements of the particular investor and so most likely to attract that inward investment. UKTI and its national, local and overseas partners develop inward investment opportunities that meet the sector requirements of investors.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

UKTI has agreed Memoranda of Understanding with the Devolved Administrations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland (and with Local Enterprise Partnerships and London and Partners in England) to ensure an open and equitable approach. The UKTI operating model combines strong levels of local engagement within a national framework of support, to best support inward investment.<\/p>

The metals sector is expected to publish its strategy in Spring 2015.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

We are supporting the metals sector, through the Metals Forum (an umbrella body bringing together the metals related trade associations) on the development of this strategy: this will bring metals into line with other important foundation sectors which have published strategies already. Foundation sectors are those such as metals, electronics and chemicals which underpin manufacturing.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The strategy will cover issues such as sustainability, supply chains, technology & innovation, skills and communication \u2013 which will all have an impact on the metals industry, including steel.<\/p>
