HC Deb 14 February 1989 vol 147 c155W
100. Mr. Evennett

To ask the Secretary of State for Employment if he will make a statement about his meeting with Business in the Community representatives.

Mr. Cope

I met Business in the Community representatives to discuss the White Paper "Employment for the 1990s" published on 5 December last, and particularly the opportunities arising from it to improve services to small businesses. The local training and enterprise councils announced in the White Paper will become a focal point for local enterprise agencies and others in the network of organisations providing advice and support to small businesses and those wishing to start up on their own.
