§ Mr. Spellerasked the Secretary of State for Employment what support he will give to the North Devon enterprise agency.
§ Mr. CopeI welcome the recent launch of the North Devon enterprise agency, which was formed through the merger of two small local enterprise agencies in the area; its formation will assist in the consolidation of the local enterprise agency network in the area. In support of the agency I am pleased to be able to announce that it has been awarded a grant of £20,000 under the Department of Employment's local enterprise agency grant scheme.
