My message to Britain’s small businesses is you are the lifeblood of our economy. Over 90% offirms in this country are small firms, over 60% people working in the private sector work forbusinesses like yours. So please keep doing what you are doing, creating the jobs, the wealthand the success our country needs. The government is on your side. We want to get out of yourway by deregulating, by cutting your taxes, by making it easier for you to take people on, butwe also want to stand up for small businesses, we want to help you with rates, we want to helpyou with procurement, we want to help make sure that you can export and succeed. Andabove all, what we’ve got to do together is stand up for enterprise, entrepreneurship and forthe dynamism that you represent and that’s the future of our country. But above all, keepdoing the great work. Thank you.
