§ Mr. BercowTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what new steps her Department took in 2001–02 to consult the users of its services about their wishes and expectations; and if she will publish the findings. [47311]
§ Ms HewittIn June last year I announced two major reviews—one of the priorities and structure of my Department, and the other of its support for business. During those reviews almost 1,500 organisations and individuals gave us their views. These were gathered through regional workshops, face to face discussions, direct correspondence and specially commissioned market research. Views were also received via the DTI website mailbox.
Details can be found in the "House of Commons Trade and Industry Committee, Reviews of DTI Structure and Business Support—Minutes of Evidence, Wednesday 12 December 2001 (HC 454–1)".
