HC Deb 25 January 1985 vol 71 c548W
Mr. Wigley

asked the Secretary of State for Employment how many persons have applied for assistance under the enterprise allowance scheme whose applications were refused because of a lack of places under the scheme.

Mr. Alan Clark

High demand for places early in 1984 meant that many people had to wait before they could proceed with their applications. However, in response to this demand the number of places available on the scheme was increased substantially and waiting lists were eliminated.
