HC Deb 14 February 1983 vol 37 c17W
7. Mr. Stevens

asked the Secretary of State for Industry whether he will take steps to increase awareness among small firms and the self-employed of the range of measures now available for them, and of the changes in legislation to assist them.

Mr. MacGregor

I accept that there is a continuing need to increase the awareness among small businessmen of the help available to them, and I take every opportunity to do so. Last year's business opportunities programme and the recent small firms service awareness campaign yielded good results. But it is essential to build on these, and I will shortly be announcing to the House details of a major publicity campaign to begin in March.
