asked the Secretary of State for Employment how frequently his Department collates the figures for the number of people receiving the enterprise allowance.

Mr. Alan Clark

55. Mr. Lightbown

asked the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the enterprise allowance scheme.

Mr. Alan Clark

I am very satisfied with the operation of the enterprise allowance scheme, which so far has given 44,000 unemployed people the chance to start their own business. Many of these new businesses are also generating jobs for other workers.
