I secured a ministerial pledge to prioritise local manufacturers in £400 billion public procurement revamp. The Cabinet Office strategy ends "outsourcing by default", ensuring taxpayers' money backs British workers first. I won commitments that small businesses, trade unions and local authorities will help shape contract criteria, with £7 billion earmarked for SMEs.

Redditch is built on manufacturing excellence. This is a lifeline for our factories to ensure they get their fair share of public contracts.
