FPB WELCOMES
NARROWING TRADE
DEFICIT, BUT CALLS
FOR MORE SUPPORT
FOR EXPORTERS
» » RESPONDING TO LAST
month’s narrowing trade
deficit data, the Forum of
Private Business has renewed
its call for the government
to provide more focussed
support for small businesses
who have the potential to
export for the first time and
to those who are already
exporting but with a bit more
help could do more.
Released by the ONS, the
data shows that between the
three months to November
2016 and the three months to
November 2017 the UK’s trade
deficit narrowed by £4.3bn.
Ian Cass, Managing Director
of the Forum, said: “We
welcome today’s news of the
narrowing trade deficit, but
feel that the full potential of
the nation’s small businesses
is yet to be realised. This is
reflected in the government’s
‘one size fits all’ approach to
‘the full potential
of the nation’s
small businesses
is yet to be
realised’
business, which does not take
into account the very different
needs, concerns and support
required from small business
in order for many of them
to achieve their true export
potential.
“Despite yesterday’s
reshuffle it’s still our view
that the government does
not truly understand the
needs of the small and micro
business community and we
call on the Secretary of State
for Business, Greg Clark, and
others to back our Get Britain
Trading campaign.”
