§ Mr. Sheermanasked the Paymaster General what is his estimate of the drop-out rate of those involved with the enterprise allowance scheme; and how many businesses are still operating one year after starting on the enterprise allowance scheme.
§ Mr. TrippierCurrently about 13 per cent. of those who join the enterprise allowance scheme do not complete 12 months on the scheme and therefore 87 per cent. are still operating a year after starting.
