HC Deb 01 February 1977 vol 925 cc148-9W
14. Mr. David Mitchell

asked the Secretary of State for Employment, in view of the large numbers of bankruptcies in 1976, especially among small businesses, what plans he proposes to improve job prospects in this industrial sector.

Mr. Harold Walker

We have no plans to introduce special employment measures aimed solely at employees in small businesses. The Government are satisfied that existing arrangements already take account of the needs of small businesses, which are kept under continuous review by the Department of Industry Small Firms Division.
