§ 19. Mr. KnoxTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what steps he has taken since June to assist small businesses in Wales; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. Wyn RobertsLast month, I launched the Gateway network — a new initiative and a concept unique to Wales — which will help ensure that businessmen in Wales receive a uniformly high quality of service no matter which of the advisory agencies they turn to. I am delighted that all of the agencies providing support to small businesses — local authorities, enterprise agencies and others—have actively supported my initiative.
