HC Deb 18 November 1987 vol 122 c561W
Mr. David Nicholson

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment what specific changes he proposes to make in the administration of the enterprise allowance scheme and the small firms loan guarantee scheme to achieve his stated objective of giving more help through these schemes to people in the inner cities.

Mr. Cope

I am currently considering how the various measures to assist small businesses and encourage enterprise provided by this Department and the Manpower Services Commission can be operated to better effect in inner city areas.
