Mr Hepburn says the economy could be boosted significantly if there were as many women-led businesses as man-led businesses.

Jackie Baillie intervenes to say in order to create a step change there needs to be more funding.

The minister says there is considerably more that can be done.

He says he would caution against the assumption that childcare would solve the issue of women in business, because it may have as much impact on men, but he does recognise childcare as an issue.

Women’s Enterprise Scotland , externalworks to create an entrepreneurial environment where women-led businesses can flourish and grow.

WES says:

"If the numbers of women-led businesses increased to equal those of men, our national bank balance would be at least 5% better off. 

That’s equivalent to a £7.6 billion boost to the economy, minimum.

To make the most of this opportunity for economic growth, and to improve the gender gap in Scottish entrepreneurial activity, Women’s Enterprise Scotland aims for nothing less than the creation of a new norm for women in business."

Scottish Labour Leader Kezia Dugdale says she would like to pay tribute to the bankers, which she never thought she'd do in her political life.

Ms Baillie says the percentage of women leading a small or medium enterprise (SME) in Scotland has dipped slightly since the SNP came to power in 2007, from 22 per cent to 20 per cent. 

The debate comes as part of Global Entrepreneurship Week, and five days after Equal Pay Day - the day when women stop earning relative to men for the year. 

The most up-to-date figures from Scottish Enterprise show that of Scotland's companies with a turnover of £5.6million or more, or more than 250 workers, only 58 from a total of 5,230 (1.1 per cent) are led by women. 

The figure for firms helped by Scottish Enterprise rises to just 3.4 per cent.

According to Scottish Labour only one per cent of large businesses in Scotland are led by women, which has sparked calls for a 'step change' to help grow the economy. 

Scottish Labour's economy spokesperson Jackie Bailie will use this debate to press the SNP Government to deliver better support for female entrepreneurs. 

Ms Baillie will also call for more assistance from government agency Scottish Enterprise.

Brexit Minister Mike Russell says the single market is based apon the free movement of goods, services, persons and capital.

Mr Russell says the Tories do not wish to see migration take place within these islands or be under the auspices of the European Court of Justice.

He says to object to the single market is to object to the benefits that Scotland has accrued.

He says the Tories and Labour are obsessed with independence and are ignoring Scotland's position in Europe.
