HC Deb 22 June 1981 vol 7 c30W
35. Mr. Bob Dunn

asked the Secretary of State for Industry what response he has received concerning the recently announced measures concerning help for small firms.

Mr. MacGregor

The loan guarantee scheme has attracted a great deal of interest, as evidenced by the large number of inquiries from individual business men and applications are flowing in to the Department. Similarly the business start-up scheme has generated a good deal of positive interest from both small businesses and potential investors.
