HC Deb 01 March 1988 vol 128 c538W
65. Mr. Riddick

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement on the progress of the enterprise allowance scheme.

Mr. Cope

Since the enterprise allowance scheme began in 1982 more than 320,000 unemployed people have been helped to start their own business. A total of 102,500 places are available this year. Although this figure is likely to be exceeded, a total of 110,000 places will be available next year.
