§ Sir Peter EmeryTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assistance he plans to give to small and medium-sized businesses in East Devon. [123075]
§ Mr. CabornThe range of assistance available to new and existing small and medium-sized businesses in East Devon, and other parts of the UK, is included in this Department's "A Guide to Help for Small Business", a copy of which I am sending to the right hon. Member. In addition, the new Small Business Service will, from April 2001, provide an enhanced service to business in England. There is also new assistance under the £180 million Enterprise Fund which will provide risk capital to the UK's small companies with growth potential.
