§ Mr. Haynesasked the Paymaster General what is the success rate of small firms in the creation of jobs after one, three and five years, respectively.
§ Mr. TrippierI regret that the information is not available in the form requested. However, it is estimated that between 1982 and 1984 very small firms employing less than 20 people created around 1 million extra jobs in the United Kingdom, offsetting net job losses of ¾ million in larger firms.
