HC Deb 29 October 1987 vol 121 c394W
70. Mr. Butler

asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer what further fiscal measures he intends to implement to benefit small businesses.

Mr. Norman Lamont

The Government will continue to pursue policies designed to promote a vigorous, enterprising economy in which small businesses can flourish.

I cannot anticipate decisions on specific measures which may be announced in my right hon. Friend the Chancellor's next Budget statement. A list of some of the measures helpful to the small businesses which have been introduced was given in the Chief Secretary's written replay to my hon. Friend the Member for Dover (Mr. Shaw) on 20 July 1987, at column 72.
