§ Mr. Peter Bruinvelsasked the Paymaster General what evidence he has that his Department's city action teams and inner-city initiatives are improving the lot of small businesses.
§ Mr. Kenneth ClarkeThe city action teams have been active in promoting enterprise and business initiatives in their areas and there are several encouraging signs of progress. The inner cities initiative has only been operating for just over a month and it is too early for results. But the encouragement of small business will be high on their agenda.
