HC Deb 23 May 1988 vol 134 c49W
Mr. Butler

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales how many applications have been received from companies in Wales for assisted consultancies under the enterprise initiative.

Mr. Peter Walker

Up to 30 April there had been 230 applications. This amounts to 4.8 per cent. of the total applications from all companies which I am pleased to say is higher than the proportion of VAT registered companies which are in Wales (4.4 per cent.).
