HC Deb 25 March 1987 vol 113 c170W
71. Mr. Lawler

asked the Paymaster General what representations the Government have received concerning the availability of affordable small unit business space for potential entrepreneurs.

Mr. Trippier

I have received correspondence on this subject from individuals drawing attention to the difficulties they have experienced in obtaining suitable premises available on terms they find satisfactory. The Association of British Chambers of Commerce recently carried out a survey which identified a shortage of premises of up to 1,500 sq ft in some parts of the country.
