HC Deb 23 February 1982 vol 18 c353W
Mr. Ray Powell

asked the Secretary of State for Wales what assistance is available for starter businesses in Wales; and if he will list them.

Mr. Nicholas Edwards

Assistance is available to businesses starting up in Wales from many sources including my industry department, the Welsh Development Agency, the Development Board for Rural Wales, and BSC (Industry) Limited. The hon. Member will be aware that the Government have introduced important new measures to encourage the formation and expansion of small businesses, including the loan guarantee scheme and the business start up scheme.
