HC Deb 05 June 1985 vol 80 c175W
33. Mr. Thurnham

asked the Secretary of State forTrade and Industry what reactions he has received aboutthe arrangements for Local Enterprise Week.

Mr. Trippier

During Local Enterprise Week 1985 some 700 events were organised throughout the country and I visited close on 60 small firms organisations in 40 towns. I believe the week was very successful in attracting publicity for the impressive range of locally based organisations providing support, at community level, to help small businesses set up and grow.

During Local Enterprise Week 1985 just over 700 events were organised throughout the country and I visited close on 60 small firms organisations in 40 towns.
