answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 31/10/2018 answer text <p>There were no maritime deployments to the region in 2017. HMS Sutherland, HMS Albion and HMS Argyll deployed to East Asia in 2018. HMS Montrose is scheduled to deploy to the region in 2019. The deployments so far have involved a mix of bilateral defence engagement events with regional partners and allies, bilateral and multilateral training and exercises, and activity in support of UNSCR and the maintenance of global norms of behaviour.</p><p>During their deployments in East Asia, HMS Sutherland and HMS Albion have both asserted their rights to freedom of navigation, in accordance with international law. We do not comment on the details of future deployments as to do so would, or would be likely to, prejudice the capability, effectiveness or security of the Armed Forces.</p><p><br> Whenever UK aircraft and vessels navigate through the South China Sea, they do so in full compliance with international law and norms - as they do wherever they are operating in the world. We are committed to upholding the rules-based international system, including the assertion of rights of freedom of navigation and overflight, as they are laid out under the high seas freedoms under Article 87 of UNCLOS.</p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 31/10/2018 15:47:55 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2018 answer text <p>Improving access to finance is the mission of the Government-owned British Business Bank, which addresses gaps in the finance market through guarantees, debt and equity finance. The bank is currently supporting around £5.2 billion of finance to almost 75,000 businesses across the United Kingdom, including through British Patient Capital, a £2.5bn fund for long-term equity investment.</p><p>From March 2012 to July 2018, the Start-Up Loans initiative delivered more than 57,000 loans across all parts of the UK, lending a total of £436 million and contributing to the creation of more than 56,600 jobs. Over the same period, 49 start-up loans with a total value of £366,644 were awarded to entrepreneurs in Kettering.</p><p>Access to invoice finance is an issue for many small businesses, because of terms in commercial contracts that prohibit or restrict them from assigning the value of their invoices. I have recently introduced regulations to ensure that any such contractual restrictions entered into after 31 December 2018, with certain exceptions, would have no effect and could be disregarded by small businesses and finance providers. This new measure is expected to provide a long-term boost to the UK economy worth almost £1billion.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 15/10/2018 16:01:53 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
