To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs what assessment he has made of the availability of commercial loans to businesses and individuals operating in the rural economy; and if he will make a statement.
I have been asked to reply on behalf of the Treasury.
The Government is committed to improving the flow of credit to small businesses, and is taking action to help small businesses access the finance they need in order to grow.
The funding for lending scheme has contributed to a transformation of the bank funding environment and banks are now passing this on to the real economy, including to small businesses, while the Business Bank and the Business Finance Partnership is developing the sources of non-bank finance available to smaller businesses.
The Government is taking a number of other actions to support the rural economy, by improving competitiveness and skills, investing in rural tourism and supporting micro-enterprises. This includes investing £150 million to improve mobile coverage for up to 60,000 rural premises across the UK that currently cannot receive any signal; and establishing the five pilot rural growth networks (RGN) to tackle barriers to economic growth in rural areas, such as a shortage of work premises, slow internet connectivity and fragmented business networks.
Decisions about whether to lend to specific individuals or businesses remain commercial decisions for banks and building societies.
