The Minister is aware of the sharp reduction in the level of lending to businesses in recent years. Even three years into the term of the Government lending to businesses is flat at best.

The CRO was meant to be the knight in shining armour to crack the whip to help resolve this issue. My question seeks to ascertain how successful that is.
