We should have an all-day debate on 20 January to determine what the Government will do in the Finance Bill to help SMEs. We have a duty to ensure that all SMEs and family businesses are supported to keep the sector's 880,000 people in work. I fear the number will drop by the end of March if the Government does nothing in the Finance Bill. I am speaking on behalf of people who are hanging on by their fingernails.
