§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will publish in the Official Report all local enterprise agencies currently operating giving their full address and details of jobs placed.
§ Mr. Trippier[pursuant to the reply, 4 June 1985, c. 134]: A list of the names and addresses of the 252 local enterprise agencies currently operating has been placed in the House of Commons Library. The Department has no information on the jobs saved or created by individual agencies.
§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry if he will report on the recent Local Enterprise Week giving details of each undertaking known to his Department; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Trippier[pursuant to the reply, 4 June 1985, c. 135]: During Local Enerprise Week 1985 some 700 events were organised throughout the country by many different undertakings and it would therefore be impossible to list each one.
Early reaction to the Week has been very positive according to feedback reaching my department.
I was particularly pleased by the support generated at community level to help small businesses start up and grow and the success of Local Enterprise Week in attracting publicity to those locally based organisations.
