It was a pleasure to meet with FSB Scotland at SNP Conference. The SNP have provided significant support to small businesses in Scotland through the Small Business Bonus and through giving local authorities the power to reduce business rates in order to support economic growth and encourage start-up businesses. I recently spoke about the measures that the SNP Scottish Government have taken to support small businesses and town centres in Scotland in a Westminster Hall debate and I look forward to working constructively with the FSB to back small business.
