HC Deb 19 February 1968 vol 759 c31W
104. Mrs. Knight

asked the Secretary of State for Economic Affairs whether he will take powers to provide for setting up small business centres at universities all over the country, similar to that operating at the university of Aston, details of which have been sent to him.

Mr. Dell:

The Aston Small Business Centre is a pioneer effort, which my Department is supporting financially for an initial period. Its development and work are being closely followed by all the Departments concerned. We shall be interested in any plans of other universites or further education establishments well placed for developing similiar units.
