<p>During the Coronavirus pandemic, the work of the Women’s Business Council, has
been paused. This was to enable the Government to focus on managing the crisis. In
light of these exceptional circumstances, there are no plans for an annual report
from the Council in 2020.</p><p>As the Government now moves to introduce a raft of
business recovery measures, I have been speaking to a wide range of individuals, including
female entrepreneurs and the Chair of the Women’s Business Council. I have been keen
to get their insight into, and their support on, how best to improve opportunities
for women in the world of work, as well as how to stimulate increased female entrepreneurship
right across the country. <br> <br>Unlocking women’s potential is a key priority following
the impact of the Covid-19 crisis and I remain committed to helping more women to
start and expand their own businesses.</p>
