HC Deb 24 February 1993 vol 219 cc606-7W
Mr. Fatchett

To ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will make a statement on the progress on his pilot scheme for one-stop shops.

Mr. Leigh

[holding answer 22 February 1993]Fifty-seven partnerships have submitted bids for funding pilot one-stop shops. The bids cover a wide geographical area and many make proposals for establishing One Stop Shops in more than one local area. This is an excellent reponse and these bids are now being examined.

I will announce the winning bids within the next two months.
